Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

" Which of the following BEST explains why President Lyndon Johnson, subsequent to President Kennedy's assassination, did not have the support of a Vice President? A. His Vice President proved to be too inexperienced to perform his duties. B. His Vice President had to resign immediately due to allegations of tax evasion. C. The office remained vacant because there were no procedures for naming a new Vice President. D. While the 25th amendment allowed president Johnson to appoint a Vice President, his nominee was tied up in congressional hearings and interviews for most of Johnson's first term."

Answer:

C. The office remained vacant because there were no procedures for naming a new Vice President.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vice president is a figure who can fit in many situations. For example, a country's vice president is a person who replaces the president in situations where he is prevented, whether by travel, illness, death or impeachment. The Constitution provides that, in addition to other duties that are conferred on it by a complementary law, a fact that has not yet occurred, the Vice President of the Republic will assist the President, whenever called by him for special missions.

As you can see the vice president is extremely important and it is essential that the vice president and the president of the republic agree that they support each other so that the country's interests are achieved. However, President Lyndon Johnson, after the assassination of President Kennedy, did not have the support of a vice president, because the office remained vacant because there were no procedures to appoint a new vice president.
