Constitutional lawfags, when a president is incapacitated the office is transferred to the VP. This is presumably what would happen if a president were to be in a coma or vegetative state for an indefinite period. Are there any provisions for when a SC justice is incapacitated, but not quite dead, for an extended period?

If he was medically dead, even for only a few moments, then it might give the remaining 8 justices legal cause to declare that the conditions for naming her replacement have been triggered.

Maybe. But clearly whatever solution to this conundrum would probably not be accepted by the public unless her peers were part of it.
