Yes. According to Article II, Section 1:

"In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President."

This has specifically been spelled out and more completely defined in the 20th and (especially) 25th Amendments.
