But what happens when the veep's chair opens up, either because he's "promoted" to president or something happens to him while he's No. 2? (Note: Yes, all the male pronouns still apply as of this writing.)
Those circumstances are provided for in the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, which was passed in 1967. Section 2 states:
"Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."
So whether the VP becomes president — and the 25th Amendment clarifies that the second-in-charge doesn't just assume the duties of the president, he (or, maybe someday, she) "shall become president" — or the VP just vacates the office for some other reason, the president has the right to nominate a sidekick, which the House and the Senate must then confirm.

And, the 12th Amendment dictates that a vice president can not be selected if they are not eligible for president. So Grand Caliph Baraq is not eligible to be Kamala’s VP.
What happens is she gets lockjaw? She’ll be powerless.
Ford chose Rockefeller
Harris had a campaign rally in Democrat stronghold Las Vegas and no on…..NO ONE…..showed up.
Wait, I thought the plan was to retake the House and Senate in 2022, appoint Trump Speaker of the House, impeach both Creepy Joe and the Ho simultaneously, then Trump becomes President again.
We were just talking about this. Kamala gets the President seat, and then it would go to Pelosi, with Kamala’s approval.
Whatever, we are f’d.
Impeaching them is one thing.
Getting a conviction is another.
The potential for having a 2023 Senate that would vote 2/3s to convict is pretty small IMHO.
Did Harris die from that Cuban thing ?
Not enough RAT senators are up for election in 2022 that could result in 67 GOP senators.
kamala will select either hillary of buttgig
It’s not the flush, it’s the other turd that’s gonna replace it.
It is zero, even if GOP won every seat that is up in 2022.
I don’t see any love for the Clinton Crime Family from the Chicago Mob.
Booty-Gig on the other hand...that could happen.
I think he’ll be the D candidate for POTUS in 2024.
We already nhave one of them. A vice president that is a complete vacancy. As for being filled, ask Willie Brown about that.
I think the she-devil will force her way into the position. Then on to the next level. This is her last chance, and nothing, I mean nothing, will get in the way.
I was in vegas then. I stood across the street laughing because I didn’t want them to count me.
…”How a U.S. Vice Presidential Vacancy Is Filled”
Perhaps we should ask the expert, Willie Brown.
