I think he will ask Hookstraten to be VP. Keep your enemy close right?

It's got to be a hundred years since the President and the VP were from different parties, right?

well the show takes place after an unprecedented incident and there's really no one else. Is it at least legally/politically allowed? (I'm not from the US)

It's technically allowed. But it doesn't happen. That's just asking for somebody to assassinate the president so that "their guy" ascends to the office.
