If the vice president dies in office or resigns, the president chooses a successor under the 25th Amendment.** The president's selection is subject to confirmation by majority votes of the House of Representatives and the Senate.**
Who is President of the Senate in lieu of the confirmation? The House won't confirm anybody short of Nutter Nancy. Not in this situation. EDIT: this ACTUALLY might place Nancy as acting vice president (acting president of the senate) in temporary, as she is next in line of succession. What a screwy situation.
The law is that she is next in line of succession. There is no precedent governing what would happen now, because it has never happened before. Do you trust Justice Roberts to rule on how it proceeds ?
