To merge the threads of previous answers, and address the various possibilities:
IF George W. Bush is President, AND VP **** Cheney dies, THEN President Bush submits a candidate to replace the vice president to Congress, and both branches must vote to approve him/her by majority vote.
IF George W. Bush has died, AND VP **** Cheney becomes the president, THEN President **** Cheney must nominate someone to become the vice president, and both branches of Congress must vote to approve him/her.
IF George W. Bush has died, AND VP **** Cheney becomes the president, AND President **** Cheney dies before a successor can be voted upon by the Congress, THEN the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes the President of the United States.
IF George W. Bush is President, AND VP **** Cheney dies, AND President Bush dies before a successor to VP **** Cheney can be confirmed by the Congress, THEN the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes the President of the United States.
Hopefully, this clarifies things.

25th Amendment to the Constitution:
Under the 25th amendment, whenever there is a vacancy in the office of Vice President of the United States, the President nominates a successor, who is confirmed by the majority vote of both houses of Congress.
The 25th amendment is supplemented by the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, which establishes a line of succession to the powers and duties of the Presidency. Should neither the President nor Vice President be able to serve, the line of succession details what government official shall then act as President.

it is the right comparable project that occurred while they needed a successor for Spiro Agnew, Richard Nixon's vice chairman. Gerald Ford replaced into the Speaker of the homestead and assumed the vice chairman place. He later became President while Nixon resigned.
