Article. [XX.] [Proposed 1932; Ratified 1933]
Section. 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provided for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
Where did I indicate a desire to get rid of the Electoral College?
I merely pointed out that it has never functioned as originally intended. Do you disagree?
Your mechanism comes into effect only if the President elect has died at the time of his inauguration. There is no mechanism for determining whether a candidate meets the requirements for him to be on the ballot.
The EC is the mechanism intended by the Founders, but of course it is only a pale shadow of what they intended it to be.
