If Biden resigns (he won't), Kamala-lama-ding-dong becomes POTUS. But that also means SOTH Mike Johnson becomes VP.
That would be fun...
No it doesn’t. They get to appoint one. I believe the senate has to confirm
Recall this happened with Nixon and Agnew/Ford.
Just looked it up, senate and house have to confirm.
Interesting...Rockefeller became Ford's VP by nomination, also.
But what if the House and Senate vote down a nomination? Would the rules of ascension apply?
It would go unfilled with President Pro-tem fulfilling duties.
Then if potus dies SOTH ascends.
Interestingly, John Tyler went almost 4 years without a VP (recall he was elevated to POTUS after Harrison died weeks into his term) because until the 25th amendment was passed there was no provision to select a new one.
