If the Hussein/Biden ticket were disqualified, what happened to McCain/Palin who would be the only ticket the electoral college could vote on?
Pelosi would be removed too for certifying a bogus ticket.

“As well you should be. If Obama/Soetoro is ineligible for the office of President, all the electoral votes cast for Obama/Biden were invalid and I believe the rules of succession apply. That would give us, gulp, President Pelosi.”
2nd place in the electoral college vote hasn't mattered since the early 1800s[1] (unless I'm misreading something). I'm a computer programmer not a lawyer.
This is undoubtedly the biggest loophole in the constitution and it may prove extremely difficult to get ourselves out of this mess.
[1] Aaron Burr and Thomas Jefferson tied in the electoral college in 1800, forcing the vote to go to the House of Reps. After 200 some odd ballots, Jefferson was declared the winner and President and Burr was declared the VP as per the law at the time. It was changed not long after that.
