[MCU] If the president of the United States is blipped in IW and replaced, who gets to president when he/she comes back?

I imagine that in the interim either the VP will step in, or within 5 years time an election might have actually been held. But assuming the president rematerializes on some toilet in the White House, what happens next?

The term of the President runs for four years from the Inauguration, regardless of whether or not the person elected is actually *serving* that office every day of it. A Blipped President is, effectively, a Dead president, and that means the VP is sworn in as President to serve out the remainder of the term (or whomever is senior-most in what's left of the line of succession). If the administration declared the blipped President to be officially dead, then the successor is sworn in *as* President, and is President for the rest of the term, whether or not the "dead" person somehow miraculously returns to life. If the administration decides that the blipped President isn't quite *completely* dead, but is instead just "missing", then the cabinet (or whomever is left) signs a letter assigning the powers of the President to the appropriate successor as "Acting President" (this is what happens when a President is incapacitated, such as being in surgery or a coma). This preserves the option of returning said powers to the proper President once the "disappearance" has ended. 

But, regardless, the term of that particular presidency ends four years to the day after it starts. So when President Disappearo suddenly reappears five years later, it doesn't really matter. They're no longer President, by any legal measure, and haven't been for quite some time. 

So when they rematerialize on the toilet in the White House, they're politely informed of the situation and escorted off the premises. Or, well, the very nice and appropriate version of that. But they're not President anymore.
