To all: If Hillary drops out (or drops dead), does any FReeper know the actual rules/laws in place regarding a successor? Can the dems pick anyone they want? Are they stuck with elevating Kaine to the potus candidate slot? Could he then name a VP and resign from the running?
Curious what the options and limitations are.

The relationship between Democratic members of the Electoral College and the Democratic National Committee is a private one. The DNC can change the nominee(s) by sending a registered letter to each Democratic member of the Electoral College at any time notifying that elector that there is a change.
After the Electoral College votes in December, the ability of the DNC to change nominees(s) disappears. After that, Congress gets into the picture.

The Democratic National Committee chooses. They aren’t bound to elevate Kaine, but probably would just to avoid hesitation and indecision and get things over with. Nobody wants to go all the way back to the drawing board at this point.
