Do you think the new leader of RiverClan and the other Clan leaders will create a new rule at the end of ASC about what to do if both the leader and deputy died? If so, what do you think it would be? I think that either the medicine cat will chose or the Clan will vote on a new leader.

I personally think that the medicine cat should choose (a similar thing already happened at least twice as far as we know, both in ShadowClan, with Redscar choosing Flowerstem/star after Brightwhisker's death and Runningnose choosing Tigerclaw/star after Nightstar's death, although both cases had to do with manipulated signs from StarClan, one created by Redscar himself and the other made by Jaggedtooth for Runningnose to find).
Similarly to this last case, there is also the one of Frostpaw finding the feathers that indicated for her mother Curlfeather to be leader of RiverClan in the newest arc but the notion of it having been a planted sign by someone else having done so on purpose is still just a theory and has yet to be confirmed or debunked. But considering that Splashtail said he planned on using a young medicine cat to give RiverClan a new leader, I could see him as having put that sign there and also as him having planned to use Frostpaw further, so it's a good thing she's no longer in a position where he is able to do so (for now).
While the medicine cat choosing the next leader option could certainly lead to situations where the medicine cat is either manipulated by others to choose someone specific or abuse their own power to put someone in the position they themselves favor, I'm still thinking this is the better or at least more interesting option in the case of a leader and deputy dying and a new one having to be chosen.
The Clan voting on who should be the next leader in such an event would indeed be a good (and democratic) outcome as a new rule at the end of ASC as well but I honestly doubt that would ever actually happen for some reason, to be honest. I'll be happy to perhaps be proven wrong though but we'll see.
