Why would the vice president take over the president's job? Who becomes president if the vice-president cannot serve as president? (Site 1)

Answer 1

To avoid such a vacancy in the future. A vice president can also become the acting president if the president becomes incapacitated. However, should the presidency and vice presidency both become vacant, the statutory successor called upon would not become president, but would only be acting as president.
