I am not sure about this. But it seems to me that if the SCOTUS declares any of the Presidential candidates Constitutionally ineligible it would not toss the election. It would only mean the Electors could not elect that man President. In other words, determining Obama ineligible would merely free "his" Electors to elect another.

I remember that Hillery "suspended" her campaign.
Did she ever "end" it?

Could she be eligible to be elected by the Electors?

She is, so is Caroline Bouvier Kennedy Schlossberg or any other Natural Born Citizen, 35 or over who has resided in the US for 14 years. You don't have to have run. They can vote for any person eligible.

But I read that Caroline is up to replace She Who Must Be Obeyed as junior Senator from New York, assuming she actually resigns from the Senate, which I understand that she, unlike BHO, has not done yet.

I believe so.

As I understand the Constitution, the Electors can elect anyone who meets the Constitutional requirements.

Again, these are very deep Constitutional waters which require a better "diver" than me.
