What do your bylaws say? Isn't this a form of resignation?

We have a President-Elect who serves a year in that position and then takes over as President. Our VP's oversee committee chairpeople. A quick answer to your question is "no" if you weren't informed. You might try to find someone to take on the job if you can't.

does a vicepresident have to become the president if no one else runs. even if they werent told this when they ran for vicepresident?
