Under the current system in the US, the president and the vice president are ALWAYS from the same party (this has not always been the case; in the first few elections the person receiving the most votes became President and the person receiving the second highest number of votes became Vice President, meaning that it was possible and perhaps even likely that they would have opposing viewpoints). Our current President Obama and Vice President Biden are democrats.

The original concept in the US Constitution was that the Presidential candidate with a majority of electoral votes would become President, while the second-place candidate became Vice President, with each elector casting 2 votes for two different persons. However, problems with a tie (1800) and with partisan conflicts between the President and his Vice President, prompted the 12th Amendment (ratified 1804) whereby the President and Vice President are elected on separate ballots. Although some Vice Presidents may have had differences with the President, none has since been elected from a different party.

Not likely . If the president dies, the VP would become the president and he would nominate someone to be the new vice president. He would choose someone from his own party and the Congress would not likely reject a nominee just because he was from the same party as the president. If his nominee was rejected he could keep submitting names until he found someone Congress would agree to.
