If the Vice President passes away, Who takes his place ?

Question

I can't remember how the chain of command goes . . .

Answer 1

Speaker of the House would take over if both the President and VP were dead. If just the VP died then the President would nominate another VP and have him confirmed by the Congress.

Answer 2

A knew vice president appointed by president

Answer 3

The President would choose and nominate a new Vice President. Sort of the way Ford ended up as President.

Answer 4

If the president is still alive then no one, he gets to appoint a new VP. that's how G. Ford became president with only a single vote. If both the president and the VP die (or are impeached) then it falls to the speaker of the house.

Answer 5

Assuming the president has not passed as well, the president appoints another person to fill the office. Think Gerald Ford...

Answer 6

A new one is appointed and then confirmed by the congress.  Unless he dies with the President, then the speaker of the house.

Answer 7

The Speaker of the House.  Currently it's Nancy Pelosi so please God, don't let that happen!!!!!

Thumbs down?  There is actually someone out there who thinks Pelosi would be a good choice for President?  God help us all...

Answer 8

if the president and vice president both die the speaker takes over.

Answer 9

The President nominates a successor and Congress confirms the nomination.
