Additional question. If the Vice President takes over and becomes President, do they finish the full term or are they just interim president until a new election can take place?

They finish the current term and appoint a new VP. The election calendar doesn’t change

So the new President just picks whomever they want to be Vice President? It doesn’t automatically become the Speaker of the House? Also, is there a confirmation process that the VP nominee has to complete similar to Supreme Court Justices?
