I would say mourning as that is the normal response to death. However, liberals have things so far out of whack now (i.e. no respect for the office of the president) that people will be split 50/50. I know that there will be some republicans who will celebrate when Clinton dies; however, Republicans tend to have a greater respect of the office of the president that for the most part therewill be mourning.

If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each State delegation has one vote. The Senate would elect the Vice President from the 2 Vice Presidential candidates with the most electoral votes. Each Senator would cast one vote for Vice President. If the House of Representatives fails to elect a President by Inauguration Day, the Vice-President Elect serves as acting President until the deadlock is resolved in the House.

IF BUSH LOSES, THE WORLD LOSES.\nThere may be millions of deaths during the next 10 years.\nBUT DON'T WORRY.   THE DEMOCRATS WILL "FEEL THEIR PAIN".

"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."\n. . -- 25th Amendment, Section 2.\n\nThat has already happened, but not due to impeachment. Spiro Agnew, Richard Nixon's Veep, was connected to crimes he committed while in state politics. If he had not resigned, he surely would have been impeached, so this is almost, but not quite, the same as your scenario.\n\nOf course, Nixon himself resigned later to prevent HIS OWN impeachment over the Watergate scandal. Thus, Gerald Ford became the only person ever to hold the office of President without facing a nationwide election.

Maybe Bush and Cheney will step down too.   No, there's a honeymoon period where both Bush and the Dems claim they're going to work together.  That should last about 30 - 45 days, then we'll see what happens.

Yes.  John Tyler, Benjamin Harrison, and Woodrow Wilson all became widowers while in office.\n\nLetitia Tyler was an invalid who died about a year and a half into her husband's unexpected term as President (he became President when William Henry Harrison died after a month in office).\n\nCaroline Harrison (who was born in my hometown) died just before the end of her husband Benjamin Harrison's term as President.\n\nEllen Wilson died a year into her husband Woodrow's first term.

The current president (lame duck) would finish his term and the Vice president would assume the presidency. Since this has never happened before, I'm sure someone would try to get a new election in progress.

I think only the President of the Senate is mentioned (the Vice President of the United States) along with the President pro tem.  The rest of the officers are left up to the Senate as it is given power to make its own rules.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives is next -- until a new Vice-President is chosen and confirmed by the United States Senate.
