My computer is not letting me search at the moment so I don't know if this has been asked before -

Does the VP become Acting President only?
Do they have to impeach the President for the Acting President to become the actual President?
What if the President is declared brain dead? Does it depend on what state the President is in because of differing defintions of 'legally dead'?
