January 20th comes with no elected president, so the Speaker of the House becomes president.
The new president appoints a vice president (perhaps one with recent experience holding that office).
The new president resigns (and possibly reclaims her seat in the House of Representatives).
The vice president becomes president.
The new president appoints a vice president (perhaps one that he has already chosen for that office).
Profit!
