Answer: The Vice President takes over until the President is well enough to

serve again. If the President does not recover the VP is sworn in as President.

This is how Lyndon Johnson became President. John Kennedy was shot and did not recover so Johnson was sworn in.

This order of replacement or command is Presidential Succession.
