Fillmore himself was originally Zachary Taylor's VP. When Taylor died in office, Fillmore became President.
Before the ratification of the 25th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution in February, 1967, whenever the vice presidency was vacated due to the death or resignation of the vice president or the president, the office just remained vacant until the next Inauguration Day.
