This is why the Constitution was amended in 1967, with the 25th Amendment. It finally set rules for how a new Vice President is chosen when the sitting Vice President has to take over the Presidency.
Andrew Johnson was the 17th President. He was the vice-president under Lincoln and became President after Lincoln was killed.
