I just noticed this only applies if the President Elect (not the President-Designate, which we now have) DIES. This does not cover if the President Elect is disqualified, but lives.
I know. I read it and wondered about that but I haven’t read through other ammendments.
I think that’s why there are so many conflicts of opinion about it, it’s not ‘all in one place and explicit’.
[not the President-Designate, which we now have]
Oh, forgot to mention this. We actually do NOT have a President Elect YET, either!
Not until the Electoral votes are in, is he the President Elect. [as he egotistically put on his podium]
Your wording of “President-Designate” may be applicable, not sure of that.
