***then we get...Biden? Oh Joy!***

If the Electoral College were to throw Obama out as a candidate, then he wouldn’t be president, so perhaps the rule of handing it on down to the VP might not apply.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment 20, Section 3:

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 provide 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.

That's my thought. Let's face it, if Obama were proven a fraud and ineligible to have been running in the first place, wouldn't that nullify his selection of Biden as VP? If he were running illegally, how could his pick of VP be upheld as legal if he were in no position to make the pick in the first place? Ya know? A LEGIT candidate might have selected someone other than Biden. (A legit candidate with a BRAIN most certainly would have, at any rate.)
