Oops. Can I have a do-over?

The Twentieth Amendment appears to address the issue: " [...], 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; "

But only until a President shall have qualified. Not permanently as is the case when a legitimate President is removed or dies.
