This is where it gets complicated if and when Kamala were to become president

would be the first president born of to non-citizen parents...

Irrespective of that constitutional point,
what human
would become president of
the Senate as vice ?

and how chosen ?

The pro tempore becomes president of the senate in the absence of a VP but nobody can break a tie until a new VP is confirmed. Nixon had no VP after Agnew resigned. It is the same basic situation.

She'd nominate a vice and the Senate would vote to approve - or not. If she died or was incapacitated before a vice was approved, the Speaker would become president.

The 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967, solved the problem of how to replace a vice president. If Cheney resigned, President Bush would select a nominee for the vice presidency. Then the nominee would have to be approved by majority votes in both the House and the Senate.

Before the 25th Amendment, a vacancy in the office was simply left unfilled. The impetus for the 25th was the assassination of John F. Kennedy–with Lyndon Johnson’s ascension to the presidency, there was no vice president in place in case something befell Johnson. Then-Rep. Gerald Ford was appointed under the 25th following the resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew in 1973. In 1974, after Richard Nixon resigned, Ford became president and selected Nelson Rockefeller as vice president. After a long congressional inquiry, Rockefeller was approved, making them the country’s first nonelected president and vice president.

I'd love to see Nancy Pelosi impeached

Both the Senate and the House have to approve, like with Ford.

Yep, and unless she picked a real radical like Bernie or AOC as VP, both chambers would confirm them. I hate to admit it, but if her legal problems disappear, they would probably even confirm Hillary as VP. This is exactly why those that want Biden impeached should be careful what they wish for.

Biden-Cameltoe=bad, but is Cameltoe-Hilly better? How about Cameltoe-Booty-Judge? Cameltoe-Lurch? How about Cameltoe-Spacy Stacy? What if they talk her into, Cameltoe-Newsome!

Oh boy, oh boy. And you have to know it is going to be someone politically savvy, cause Leftists are crazy, not stupid.
