the House of Representatives would have to elect a President from among the top three electoral vote getters who were qualified, i.e, John McCain, John McCain, or John McCain, and after the House election, Biden would resume his elected office of Vice President under President McCain.

Unless there was at least one "faithless" elector who voted for some other prominent Democrat. Then even if she only got one electoral vote, the House could, and likely would, pick her.

Bad as that would be, it's preferable to having an ineligible person, a usurper if you will, pretending to be President. It would also at least be consistent with the Constitution.

Correct. I always thought that, if we saw a few EV for HRC, that that might be the game.

But as far as we know, none of the electors voted for anyone else this time.
