The President appoints a new VP with Congress's approval. If the President and VP were to both die or leave office suddenly, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes president and a new VP is appointed. The order of presidential succession goes:

President

VP

Speaker of the House

President Pro-tempore of the Senate

Cabinet (by order of when the positions were established)
