If the vice president dies, the president stays president. He appoints a new vice president with the "advice and consent" of congress.If both the vice president and president die before a new vice president can be chosen, the presidency passes to the Speaker of the House. After that, it goes to the President pro temporeof the Senate, and then to the members of the Executive Cabinet in the order their departments were established (except for the Secretary of Defense, whose department was established relatively late, in 1947, by a merger of the former departments of War and the Navy. The Department of Defense falls into the line of succession in the same position formerly occupied by the Department of War.)
