He doesn't have to pick a VP.
Why shouldn't he? Wouldn't this be kind of odd? Since the respective amendment was passed there was always a new VP appointed when there was a vacancy in the office. And especially after Cheney's suffers a heart attack, there's a need for a successor.
The respective section in the 25th amendment says: "
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress." Isn't the president obliged to nominate a VP?
If you read in this timeline he has a heart attack because of the stress of being President, so that makes him change his mind about running in 2004.
No, I wanted to know who Cheney appoints VP after he became president and why this new VP isn't running in 2004.
