Section 3 also talks about the President elect being unqualified. This section is the rules for electors and the Senate. Unfortunately in 24 states there are "faithless elector" laws. In those states, they have to vote for the candidate the state picked by ballot.

It is a Constitutional mess that may have to be solved by the Scotus. I pray that they take this seriously. If he is Kenyan born, and he denounced citizenship to get an Indonesian passport, and he is sworn in, it would set a terrible precedent.

You are correct about the “faithless electors” issue, however, If the electors were chosen based on a fraud, where does that leave us? Frankly, I hope he is qualified to serve just to resolve this issue, but the longer this is being played out in the courts it is starting to sound like what the definition of “is” is.

Assuming Obama is ineligible to hold the office, and picking up from where we were last night on Biden’s situation, could the electors cast their vote for Biden directly? In reality it would be the way out of this mess.

I can assume Biden would then pick Hillary as his VP and the Dem base would be placated. The Conservatives would go crazy, but it IS a Constitutional remedy. The minority community would be disenfranchised, but it was done by one of their own and the only property in jeopardy would be a mansion on the south side of Chicago.

What say you?
