Who selects the replacement for the vice president who died in office?

The president nominates a new candidate who must then be approved by congress. It's essentially the same process that's used to select cabinet members.

Can a Vice President run for President after serving 2 terms?

Yes. The Constitution has no limitation to serving as Vice President... only President. That limitation is two elected terms or 10 years. As a recent example, Vice President Bush served for two full terms under Reagan before running and winning the Presidency. He also ran for a second term against Clinton but lost. VP Gore served two terms and ran after that for Presidency and won (but still lost)... but thats another story.

The real question you should be asking,however, is whether a President who has served two terms or 10 years can then serve as Vice President. The Answer to that is NO although that has never been tested. The 12th Amendment states "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

If you mean, who would break a tie in an election for President, the answer is:

"If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each State delegation has one vote. The Senate would elect the Vice President from the 2 Vice Presidential candidates with the most electoral votes. Each Senator would cast one vote for Vice President. If the House of Representatives fails to elect a President by Inauguration Day, the Vice-President Elect serves as acting President until the deadlock is resolved in the House."

Aaron Burr did not assassinate anyone. He and Alexander Hamilton made a mutual agreement to participate in a duel with pistols. They met at an agreed time and place, with observers and seconds to make sure it was done properly. It was, however, not legal to duel in New Jersey at that time. Hamilton fired and missed, while Burr fired and fatally wounded Hamilton. After the duel, newspapers make tremendous inflamatory accusations against Burr; he was tried and found not guilty in court. Therefore it is not correct to assert that Burr assassinated or murdered anyone.

Can a former US president serve as US vice president?

Yes, provided he has served only one term. Under the 12th Amendment "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United states." Thus a President who has been elected twice (and so under the 22nd Amendment become ineligible to any further terms) would also be disqualified from election as Vice-President. In 1980, Ronald Reagan offered the Vice-Presidency to ex-President Gerald Ford (who declined it). This would have been perfectly legal as Ford had not served two terms. However, a similar offer to ex-President Nixon (who had done so) would have been unconstitutional.
