Well, no.

The President would appoint a VP that would have to be confirmed by both sides of Congress.

The SOH would become president if they were both killed. The whole succession thing was settled in the late sixties thing, I believe. Cannot remember the amendment.

Looked it up...25th amendment.

Until a new VP is approved, the Speaker would indeed be next in line.
