If something happens to the vice president, does the Speaker of the House become vice president?

JReid

When vice-president Spiro Agnew (under Nixon) was forced to resign the office because of impending legal action, no one assumed the office automatically. Nixon chose a new VP (Ford), who was confirmed by the Senate. The house speaker is third in line in the event of the death or incapacitation of both the president and vice-president. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiro_Agnew http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Ford [Links added -- Zb] Aug 03 00, 6:48 PM
