Joseph Biden COULD be on A ticket and eligible to be Vice President.

He, however,if Donofrio’s case is upheld, would NOT be eligible to take Obama’s place as President. The case states that the election was held with an ineligible candidates for president. Biden was on the same ticket.

This is the very reason Donofrio pushed to have the “stay of election” so that ineligible candidates could be taken off the ticket and this constitutional crisis could be avoided.

Please take time to listen to Donofrio’s interview. He explains himself in detail and talks about the obstruction to the cases he encountered on his way to the Supreme court.

Sigh.

First of all, there is no such thing as a "ticket" in the Constitution.

Second of all, there is no such thing as "running for President", or "candidates for President".

Right now, there are 538 Electors for President and Vice-President of the United States. Each one, as far as I know, is eligible to their office and has been chosen in a regular, legal way.

On December 15, these 538 US citizens, holding their Constitutional office, will elect the President and Vice President.

Despite what you seem to believe, the Constitution contemplates a situation where an ineligible (the Constitution says "unqualified") person is chosen by the Electoral College to the office of President. In such a case, the Vice-President elect assumes the office of Acting President until the Electoral College chooses a qualified person.

Have faith in your Constitution, and try to learn what it says. You're going to need it.

“He, however,if Donofrio’s case is upheld, would NOT be eligible to take Obama’s place as President.” Sez who? Regardless of the “ticket,” Biden IS eligible to serve as VP; if he is elected VP by the electoral college, Amendment XX would apply if President-elect Obama is declared ineligible: “ . . . 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 . . . “
