The amendment states that the VP elect will take the office while a suitable replacement is found for the big spot.
Is it completely out of the realm of possibilities that Obama would be found ineligible after a win in November, and Hillary comes along to steal the presidency without a problem?
I seem to recall that the Congress would vote on a presidential appointment in this case. If Hillary stood no chance of being elected by the popular vote, perhaps she’ll be injected by Congressional fiat. Am I off my rocker?
The House can only vote for the top three eligible recipients of Electoral College votes. If Hillary is one of those three, then the House has the option to give it to here. That wouldn't be stealing it, because it's following exactly what the Constitution provides.
I think the Electors vote in December. Dick Cheney would be the one opening the certified Electoral College votes before Congress. He's not going to sneak in Hillary's name if it's not already there.
