Greeley's Electors were then freed to vote for whomever they chose, and they did exactly that. If Obama's Electors were freed, because it was established in STATE courts that he was ineligible to run for President, they would probably coalesce around Hillary Clinton and elect her as President.
Biden would still be Vice President because he is qualified for that office, and was on the ballot for that office. See Amendment Twelve. Pelosi would have nothing to do with it, because there would be both a President and a Vice President.
Dammit,folks. Read the Constitution. Crack open a history book. These are only "uncharted waters" for those who ignore both the Constitution and our history -- like most members of the MSM. Don't descend to that level.

You are correct about our Fore Fathers giving us a masterfull document on which to build a nation. Our troubles as a great nation occur when we ignore and violate this document at the judicial, legislative and executive levels.
As Franklin said, “A Republic if you can keep it!”

Good to read what you wrote.
In the Constitution, Ammendment 20, section 3, it explains about a President Elect, but Obama is not President Elect until the Electoral votes are in.
Right now he may be in “no-mans’ land, lol.
