25th Amendment, Section 1: 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.

Could be verrrrry interesting since I don't think the Democratic House would vote to approve any Trump nominee.
