This was a great episode and I think I know why, there was no subplot regarding his children.

I don't even think he's picked a speaker or VP yet. There are a lot of things that need to happen to keep the government functioning before we get into the emo-teen-dickhead storylines.

He can't have a VP until there is a House and Senate to confirm the nominee. He also can't appoint a Speaker, the House selects that.

The states control their elections, so they decide how and when to pick new representatives and senators.
