The VP has to be confirmed by congress so the vacancy could be a long one.
Comment on If Trump and Biden both died today, what would happen?
meco03211@lemmy.world 5 months agoImportant to note that the speaker only takes over if the president and vp died together. If the president dies, the vp takes over and picks a new vp, who would then be first in the line of succession.

And the new President doesn't necessarily have to pick a VP, it's just expected to fill the vacancy.
