If obama’s campaign is VOIDED the legal way to remove him) biden WOULD NOT be the President. Voiding means that obama never ran for office,if he never ran for office neither did his running mate biden. The President and the vice-President campaigns are not separate now ,as they used to be. The legal President of the United States according to the Constitution and U.S. Laws is President John McCain.

Read the Constitution!
President and Vice President are separate offices!
The electoral college which hasn't really done it Constitutional duty for a very very long time. It elects the president & vice president. (and is done separately!)It's only custom that they seemed cemented together at the hip. (Constitutionally the popular vote is a beauty contest! And long may it stay that way!) The electoral college could have said to the states, that's nice but we pick McCain & Biden for POTUS & VPOTUS. (Yes I think most states do have “faithless elector laws. I think it's still an open constitutional question as to whether these laws are really constitutionally valid!) Or the electors could have picked two we have never heard of!

Remember political parties do not exist to the US Constitution! Political parties have no constitutional standing, they are only instruments of political convenience.

Practically every word in the post above is a bold-faced lie.

What is the process by which a national election is “voided?”

The 12th Amendment to the United States Constitution is very clear and precise. Whoever’s Electoral College votes are counted and found to be a majority of the votes cast and whoever’s Electoral College votes are then certified by the Vice President of the United States at a joint session of Congress and whoever is administered the Oath of Office on Inauguration Day “SHALL BE PRESIDENT.”

There is no way that John Sidney McCain can be president because he did not receive a majority of the votes of the Electoral College. That would be in violation of the 12th Amendment. There is no constitutional process to simply award the electoral college votes of one candidate to another candidate.

The way to get rid of Obama is by impeachment and conviction for high crimes and misdemeanors, resignation or defeat at the polls in 2012.
