Before election:
•DNC decides, method not specified
•RNC fills vacancy, reconvene convention or RNC state representitves vote, simple majority wins
Just before the election:
•Congress may pass special legislation to move back election day to give more time for the party to select a new candidate and regroup
11/4 Election
After election, but before Electoral College
•No federal law. Electors open to vote for VP, third party, or convention runner up. State laws may affect elector's abilities to select.
12/15 Electoral College
After Electoral College, before Congress counts the votes
•Congress counts Electoral College votes and declares winner. Winner's VP gets it
1/6 Congressional Vote Count
After Congressional count but before inauguration;
•Per 20th Amendment, VP gets it, but only applies after candidate becomes 'President-Elect" That is certainly after Congressional count.
1/20 Inauguration
•VP gets it
may be the first time in history of any nation
that VP would be President, and sitting in jail at the same time, complicit with BO for massive voter fraud.
In this particular scenario I see the entire DNC
guilty of massive fraud. Any electoral voter who
would possibly consider anyone in the DNC would have
to be out of their freaking mind. Democrats always
salute the one finger at the Constitution. They knowingly
nominated a candidate and they think their VP will get in?
Think again, if GOP figures out the entire sham in time, then the runner up would get in hands down.
No one can say that the VP didn’t know, no one would ever believe that, not in a thousand years. Especially after all this publicity.
