20th Amendment, Section 3, seems to cover it.

Basically, the vice president (elect) shall be acting president if the president elect fails to qualify.
And if both are deemed ineligible, Congress determines who is president.

Using the VP elect would be rewarding the illegal behavior. It would be a bait and switch. The Constitution is clear about who can run and who can't run. He shouldn't have gotten past the primaries.
In all fairness, McCain was the only qualified person elected to the office. He got 48% of the votes while Oboma would be stripped of his. That makes McCain the automatic winner.
