Which is why I said that since both weren't eligible, the electors should go back to the general election and determine which ticket met the requirements.
That's just a wonderful suggestion but unfortunately no legal basis for doing it that way.
Is what you are suggesting that Congress ought to adopt that as the method for providing a substitute? This isn't going to happen because Congress doesn't view votes for some marginal third party as indicative of broad electoral support for what they might have for policy views.
What a mess, huh!?
I could see Biden as Acting President until this mess is sorted out.
And it IS a mess. A tremendous mess.
Good visual: One of those high-rise apartment buildings in China, built without a good foundation, that topples over like a tree in the forest.
Another good visual: Those man-made islands (The World) off the coast of Dubai, that are sinking back into the ocean.
No proper foundations in either case.
Our country cannot operate without proper foundations for its institutions, including that of POTUS.
