Who's the President?

RE: Who's the President?
I'm going to assume that Obama dies on that turkey bone. I think Biden would be sworn in first as Vice President and then immediately assume the Presidency and appoint a Vice President?

However, if Obama is incapacitated for a period, Biden would only be acting president until Obama could resume his duties. I think there's a clause in the Amendment that a majority of the people in the executive branch can declare that the President is not fit to resume office, though, and then the VP would remain on duty.

IMO, the whole scenario is a frightening thought.
