suppose he isn’t an American citizen, then what? President Biden

If no person gets 270 (the majority) of the EVs, the House votes for the next President, and the Senate votes for the VP. You can bet they'll both be Dhimmicrats.

My guess is it could be Gore/Brazile.

If nobody gets a majority of the EV for President, the House picks from those receiving Presidential EV “not exceeding three on the list”. If nobody gets a majority of the EV for VP, the Senate picks from the top two finishers. Neither House can pick whomever it wants.

Would not McCain get all the ECV’s if Hussein is disqualified?

Biden got ZERO votes for president. McCain had millions in every state.

The votes for VP and President are separate, even though the same elector would normally be voting for both sides of the ticket. So Biden will be VP, almost regardless of anything, (unless he's found to be ineligble too). But the House must select from the qualified candidates who got electoral votes. That would leave McCain as President by default. Now if it comes out before the electors vote, they would be free to vote for whomever they wanted, or more likely for whomever the DNC puts forth. And that would indeed be a Dhim.
