If the vice president is impeached who becomes president?

The vice president becomes the new President if the President vacates his office for any reason, including death, resignation, or forced removal via the impeachment process. Note that the President would remain president after impeachment until and unless the Senate votes to convict. Being impeached is roughly equivalent to when a criminal is indicted or charged with a crime. After that a trial is held and unless they are convicted, nothing happens. Both Andrew Johnson and William Jefferson Clinton were impeached. Neither was convicted by the Senate so they each remained president. If the Vice President is impeached as well, the Speaker of the House becomes President.

No, but as President, the only way he could be convicted would be impeachment by the House and trial in the Senate. He could not be tried in any criminal court while President. Bribery is one of the specific crimes listed in the Constitution as an impeachable offense. Article II, section 4 states: "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." Of course, once removed from office, the ex-president could be tried in court for any crime, subject to statutes of limitation.
