Wasn’t it the whole Trump/Pence ticket that was defrauded? If so, the remedy should address both injured parties. Further, if Biden wasn’t elected, neither was Harris. I love your Constitution and have studied it, but am still a long way from being a Constitutional Scholar. I welcome correction by others who know more.
Prior to the (17TH?) Amendment to the US Constitution, the office of VP was actually voted on, counted and ELECTED by the people.
Now, no votes are cast specifically for VP.
So, just like Fauci, the VP is an unelected servant.
But, unlike Fauci, VP is in the line of succession.
To granulate our discussion:
“Wasn’t it the whole Trump/Pence ticket that was defrauded? If so, the remedy should address both injured parties.”
The ticket is a single entity and thereby is harmed as a ticket, not as separate injured parties.
The President-elect can summarily appoint a new VP if the VP-elect becomes unavailable at anytime prior to Jan 20.
I assume that, even before the inauguration, the President-elect can “fire” the VP and replace him/her.
