Well if i am correct, the VP is the president of the senate. He never does anything though. the only time he does anything is if the vote for a law or something is a tie. the VP will be the tie breaker for the Senate.

I can not find any record that current Vice-President Biden has cast any votes so far.

When the President dies and the Vice become President he then picks a new Vice, and the cycle continues. Vice -> Pres ---------------------------------------- No, that's not how it works. First off the two never travel together so they can't be killed at the same time, but if the president dies the vice precident takes over and does not appoint a vice. The position remains open. If the vice then dies the next in command takes over. That would be the secretary of state. ---------------------------------------- Actually, after the president dies, the vice president becomes president, and if he dies, then the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE becomes the new president........ ---------------------------------------- To add to the correction, the first paragraph above is correct. The second paragraph (the first correction) is very, very wrong. First of all, the President and VP could easily die at the same time. They could be assassinated at the same function, a nuclear attack could kill both, etc. Secondly, if the President dies, the VP becomes President and appoints a new VP, who then is confirmed by a majority of both houses of Congress. It is only if both the President and the VP die at the same time, or the President dies and then the VP who became President dies before he has appointed a new VP, that the Speaker of the House becomes President. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the last guy was right, the president pro tempore becomes president after the speaker of the house...comes secretary of state, treasury, defense, attorney general, secretary of interior, agriculture, commerce, labor....finally a couple of people later it ends with the secretary of homeland security...
If the President dies, the VP becomes President. After which the VP (now President) will nominate a new Vice President who the Senate needs to confirm. So there most always will be both. Same thing if the VP resigns or dies, the President nominates a new VP, Senate confirms. In the event both die at or near the same time, and there is no Vice President to take the Presidents place, the Speaker of the House (U.S. House of Representatives) is sworn in as acting President.
