Voters cast a single vote for both the President and the Vice President.
The electorate at that time could vote for both the president and vice president separately, and the vote did not distinguish whether it was for president or vice president. Both Jefferson and Burr got a majority of votes, so the house had to vote to decide who was president and who was vice president.
The running opponent from the previous election would take the presidency as with the vice president.

In the context of the U.S. federal government, a special election is not held to determine who shall be president if both the president and vice president are lost, because the Speaker of the House immediately becomes president and serves the balance of the presidential term.
President Obama won re-election on November 6, 2012; he defeated Mitt Romney in both popular and electoral votes, and earned a second term as president.
Ford becoming President was unique because he is the only person to have held the office of President without being elected to either the presidency or the vice presidency. He ascended to the presidency after Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned and President Richard Nixon resigned, making him the only person to become President without winning a national election.

bipartisanship. Bush meant it.
No. Polk and Harding were both born on November 2 but they were not born in election years.
If the vacancies are due to the death, resignation or removal from office of both the President and Vice President, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, if qualified, resigns from the House, becomes President, and appoints a new vice president, subject to congressional approval. If the vacancies are because the winners of the presidential and vice-presidential elections have not yet been determined by Inauguration Day, the Speaker of the House becomes Acting President until the election winners are determined. If the House Speaker is serving as Acting President when the winner of the vice presidential election has been determined but the winner of the presidential election still has not yet been determined, the Vice President takes over as Acting President until the presidential election winner is determined.
No,unless he is elected to be President. The terms of the vice president and the president both expire at the same time. A new election is held in November of the year before the President's term expires in January.
