If the president is assassinated, the Vice President immediately assumes the office of President. The new President then nominates a replacement Vice President, who must be confirmed by a majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, under the 25th Amendment.

He's the one who picked Vance

Did you see that picture of him yesterday?? I don't think he is gonna make it to the end of the year.

If he were to choose one to run with, I'd guess a Trump spawn to ensure Donald's support.

But if the Don is gone? No idea.

Who has to be confirmed by both the house and senate.

Us boomers remember.

VP becomes president and picks a new vice president.

If there has only been one death designee number 2. If both 1 and 2 are dead then designee number 3

If that makes you feel better..

If the president dies the VP becomes president, and he then nominates a new VP who has to be approved by a majority of both the House and the Senate. The Speaker becomes the president (but never the VP) only if both the current VP and the president are dead or unable to serve, and then he nominates a VP, to be confirmed by the House and the Senate.

"Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."

One is nominated.

that makes him super duper dangerous and he and his comrades are insane and stupid at the same time. US have depleted it's arsenal, oil reserves, US morale is low, and the economy sucks as well as healthcare.

Vance is the same but does not have the conman's ability re cult, the next VP?

But I don’t know if Dump dying would really be a good thing. It would definitely be satisfying at first, but, he’s a known entity at this point. I don’t know what would come after him.

I really doubt he is in as great a health as he claims to be. So it really doesn't matter what we think here, he isn't going to live forever.

But pundits and any number of posters on DU have an abysmal record when it comes to predicting Trump's imminent demise.

that threat now to rattle *him*. But the threats are combined with great patience to wait for an opportune time and place. That way, *he* will live "in danger" for the rest of his life...even after he leaves office and no longer has all the protections he now has.

And no comparing the Obama's to apes. Vance would be an improvement.

That's the spirit! He will NOT likely pick Kegsbreath or Rubio because he doesn't like them. He'll probably pick someone innocuous that we won't like, some kind of "assassination insurance".

That man is cunning and is his biggest competition to the MAGA heir throne.

A new VP can't be filibustered either.

Take your choice.

He won't pick either of them because he's a bit afraid of them. I'm telling you, it'll be someonwe who will be "assassination insurance". Nobody likes Shady so he'll pick someone even worse than he is.

Trump's people will be out the door as soon as Vance is sworn in.

Something swift and terrible and immediate.

The 25th Amendment provides that a replacement VP can selected but has to be approved by both the House and the Senate

Safe pick.
