We need to take this into account

What would happen if Mike Pence died? Will there be a new election or is Trump going to appoint someone to as vice president and how like it is that that someone is Jared Kushner?

Trump reappoints someone, probably Jared.

pretty sure everyone just jumps up one rank. so it would be VP Ryan

Seeing as House Speaker Paul Ryan would be next in line after Pence, He would most likely take the office and the House would appoint a new speaker.

This. The line of succession was set up so in the case of a fatal catastrophe we can still have a working government instead of there being total anarchy while we wait to have another election.

On an interesting note the total line of successions isn't legally allowed to be in the same place at the same time. This is to prevent all of them being killed at once in one fell swoop and there being no working government. Even at big cabinet meetings there's always one member(usually secretary of energy or transportation or something relatively unimportant) that is shipped off to a protected military base to keep them safe until the meeting is over.

No. A new VP would be selected by Pence. Everyone else stays in their position.


Amazing how uninformed Americans with a supposed interest in politics are about their own system.

Sorry I mean Trump.

>the ghost of Pence would select a new VP

based, hes doing his job from beyond the grave

Welp, you'd be wrong. We actually have a President historically who was appointed VP. Remember?

he kind of looks like he could be eminem's father in this picture

The electricity gods would be outraged

If Trump is also alive and carrying out the duties of the presidency he selects a new VP.... but both houses of congress must approve the new VP.

If both trump and pence died or were unable to perform the duties of the presidency speaker Ryan would become president. If Ryan died too (they never fly together etc...) so unlikely but Orrin Hatch would become president. Either one of them would select a new VP congress would have to approve.

See was that so hard?

No, this is only if Trump and Pence both die at once. Ryan would become President in that case.

If Pence resigns or dies alone, Trump reappoints someone.

WOMEN ARE THE OPPRESSORS! EVERY YEAR WORLDWIDE WOMEN KILL 50-60 MILLION OF THEIR OWN BABIES BY WAY OF ABORTION, WOMEN ARE EXTERMINATING THE FUTURE OF MANKIND(BOTH FEMALE AND MALE FETUSES OF ALL RACES)! FEMINISM IS MENTAL ILLNESS, IT'S DESTROYING ALL PEOPLE!

Exactly. This is for emergencies. IF pence died tomorrow to ensure a successful approval by both houses of congress Ryan would be one of the most likely nominees Trump might make to fill the office of vpotus.

But he could choose anyone who is eligible with the approval of congress.

There is a whole TV show on ABC right now based on this concept

ABC is run by Jews keep watching msm.

Congress could also have Ryan pushed all the way to the Presidency if they agree Trump is incapacitated (mentally unstable) and unable to perform his duty.

I believe that this would land before the supreme court VERY EXTREMELY quickly as things stand now... but he is no spring chicken its very possible over the next eight years he could become incapacitated. Unless he and pence were incapable of performing their duties legitimately this will not happen.
