So you want a President that leaves Obamacare and the financial reform, as well as all the current executive orders in place? That is doing nothing.

As opposed to what? What are the options? Either Obama or Romney will be president on January 20th, 2013.

I was responding to the sentiment that we want a president who does nothing.

269 each guy. You must win by a clear majority of 270, so anything less doesn't win.

That throws the selection among the three highest to the House. That's when it gets tricky. If by Inauguration day there's been no selection of a President, the sitting Speaker of the House (of the newly elected Congress, not the old Congress) becomes President.

Obviously Conservatives ~ both Socon and TEAParty can work this together to keep both the major party candidates out of the Presidency, and put in someone they want.

You don't have to be a member of the House to be elected Speaker either, so literally ANYONE could become Speaker of the House, and then President.
