The process is governed under the United States Code, 3 USC 20 to be precise. A resignation is submitted, in writing, to the office of the Secretary of State, it takes effect immediately upon its receipt (for instance, when Richard Nixon resigned, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger initialed the resignation letter and noted “11:35” as its time of receipt), and it’s not subject to acceptance by anyone.

Does the president ever appoints the vice to take charge if he is still in the same room?
I am not sure what you want to know. The President can not and does not informally transfer his powers to the vice-president or anybody else. If the President is disabled and unable to perform his duties, he must transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. At that point, the vice-president takes over the President's duties. (I suppose the vice-president could be visiting the president in , say a hospital room, when the president tells him that he has sent such letters.)

Which Amendment sets out the procedure for the President to resign or to temporarily step down?
