If the VP dies first, the president would choose a new VP. If the president dies first,. the VP would become president and then would choose a new VP. If the president and VP both die at the same time, the Speaker of the House would become president and then he would choose a new VP.
No. It is quite unlikely that this would ever happen. When the Vice President becomes President, a new Vice President is selected and becomes next in line. Only if the new President were to die before a new Vice President was selected would the Speaker of the House become President. Then a new Vice President and a new Speaker would be selected and they would both be ahead of the President Pro Tempore in the order of ascendence. The Secretary of State would become President only if the President, Vice President, Speaker, and President Pro Tempore all died at essentially the same time.
The vice president would become president no selection is done by anyone
There is no president of New York. City governments are headed by mayors, and state governments are headed by governors. So there is a Mayor of New York City and a Governor of New York State.
If the House Speaker would become president due to the sudden deaths of both the president and vice president, he would nominate a new vice president who after confirmation by Congress would take his place if he died. If he were to die before a new vice-president was confirmed, the new Speaker of the House would take his place.
The vice-president is promptly sworn in as President if the president dies. An new vice-president is then appointed by the new president subject to approval by Congress. However, it the president dies when there is no vice-president, the Speaker of the House of Representatives would become the president and if there is no House Speaker, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate would become president.
Next in line is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. However, in actual practice if some scandal made both president and Veep want to resign, the Veep would resign first and a new veep would be appointed. Then the president would quit and the new Veep would become president. The only likely way the House Speaker would become president would be for the President and vice-president to both die suddenly at the same time or nearly the same time.
If the president were to die, the current vice president would become president and then would nominate someone to be the new vice president. Congress would have to approve the nomination for it to take effect.
In this event , the new president would be sworn in and become president. If the outgoing just keeled over, he would be put on a stretcher and carried away to a safe place. If he was shot, all would run for cover and there would be a delay in the swearing in, but it would take place .
