    Right, it’s common knowledge in the US that the VP could become the president while in office. This was used to fearmonger to racists due to Biden’s age and declining health that Kamala would take over during his term.

    Interim elections are called for members of Congress as needed, but no, presidents will simply appoint a new vice president if needed and serve the remainder of the term.
