And so when it comes to pass that an ineligible person is elected to the Office of President by vote of the Electoral College, what to do? Unfortunately, the founders did not have the foresight to say that in such a case, Las Vegas Ron and Butterdezillion were to be consulted and whatever ruling they made will apply.
Instead, they laid down procedures for impeachment, and that’s the only remedy. What about “Shall be President” is unclear or unambiguous? Let me know when you find a Court or a Constitutional Officer who agrees with your positions. It hasn’t happened so far.
They said if that happens, the VP elect is supposed to “act as President”.
How would that happen? Any case arising from the Constitution is to be decided by the judiciary. That’s how Bush v Gore was decided. What would have happened if SCOTUS had refused to hear Bush v Gore? What if the lawsuits and recounts were all still going on 4 years later? You tell me what the Constitution provides for that situation.
What about “the electoral vote was never legally counted and the winner certified” is unclear? If a winner is never lawfully determined where does that leave us? If there is no winner there is no “shall be President” so your point is moot.
Actually, the founders did have the foresight for including something to deal with the installation of an illegitimate president, or any other tyrannical/lawless portion of the government:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
WHY would the Hawaii's DNC not endorse him on their ballots???
