even granting the assumption that both go before their term is up (still unclear for benedict donald, and very unclear for pence):

one will get removed or otherwise leave office prematurely, a new veep will be appointed and confirmed, then the other will be removed or leave office prematurely.

the new appointee (think gerald ford) will become president.
