Best Answer

If the President dies, the Vice President becomes President and under the terms of the 25th Amendment, he would nominate a new Vice President. If he were to die before the new VP could be confirmed by Congress, the Speaker of the House would become President.

The line of Presidential succession is much longer : after the Speaker, there is the President pro tempore of the Senate, and then the eligible members of the President's Cabinet, beginning with the Secretary of State.

Why would a president not have a vice-president?

If the President had been a VP themself, and then had been sworn in when the President had died. The VP office would then remain vacant until the next election. This changed under Richard Nixon, so that if a VP became President, a new VP would need to be appointed. As a result, when Nixon resigned, his VP Gerald Ford became President, and Nelson Rockefeller was appointed as Vice President.

What if Hillary became president her husband became vp and she died in office would her husband become president?

No chance. The president's spouse has no claims on the presidency . <><><> True- HOWEVER- If Bill Clinton ran as her Vice Presient, and were elected to that office, AND the President became unable to complete the term of office, THEN Bill Clinton could again become President. The Constitution provides that one may be ELECTED to the office of President only twice. He would not have been elected more than twice.
