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.
