Or are you suggesting that a president-elect Cruz would be ruled ineligible and then the losers would become the victors? It doesn’t work that way.

Marriage doesn't work the "gay" way either, but we are seeing a lot of impossible changes happening lately.

Don't tell me that "it doesn't work that way." Our opposition has absolutely no integrity, and it may very well work "that way" if they take it through our insanely LIEberal courts.

There is a constitutional provision for the president-elect being found unqualified for office. In that case, the vice president elect becomes president. If both don’t, the Congress picks a temporary until an election qualifies a president.

20th amendment

“If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.”
