The presidential election could be delayed or scrapped altogether if conspiracy theories become predictive and a candidate dies or drops out before Nov. 8. The perhaps equally startling alternative, if there's enough time: Small groups of people hand-picking a replacement pursuant to obscure party rules.
The scenarios have been seriously considered by few outside of the legal community and likely are too morbid for polite discussion in politically mixed company. But prominent law professors have pondered the effects and possible ways to address a late-date vacancy.
"There's nothing in the Constitution which requires a popular election for the electors serving in the Electoral College," says John Nagle, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, meaning the body that officially elects presidents could convene without the general public voting.

Particularly odd was the author’s casual claim to “Trump’s hidden agenda”
What hidden agenda does he think Trump might have?
AND how could that possibly relate to the question of the Republican candidate’s sudden inability to take office?
That’s exactly right. You’ll hear a lot of this up until Trump takes office. I’m waiting for next media headline, “Experts say it would be easy to kill Trump.”
The leftist media is really band of outrages lying azzh*les. Trump had their number from day one.
I don’t think it is Hilllary they have in mind to be un- alive. They want her to win.
The Republican party? Surely you jest they will do what King chuck a bobo says.
That’s because we’ve never had a zombie candidate like Hillary before.
The Lefties are wondering what they will do if she croaks before election day. I guess they figure that the Weekend At Bernie’s option won’t work in real life.
Cankles croaks, kain kontinues, trump triumphs, dems denounce, order obliterated, martial mandate....
Funny how this is ready to be published just as the Mexicans invite Trump to meet with them IN MEXICO. Trump shouldn’t go...period.
Interesting, could be... they'll load up her cheese natchos with some moldy salsa before a debate, she goes into coughing fits and the dem leaders knock her off by denying medical assistance. Their plan all along.
I was being facetious, but you can’t put anything past these people.
Maybe hidden in the article are coded instructions. (I smell a movie.)
They doctors are keeping Clintoon alive until after she wins the election. I don’t expect her to croak until after the first of the year.
I hope Trump doesn’t visit any hunting camps in Texas owned by an Obama supporter. The SS reports to POTUS and he appointed the Agent in Charge.
{{{George Soros, please pick up the white courtesy phone...}}}
Maybe this is why someone talked Trump into going to Mexico. Trump is taking a pretty big risk in that.
They also know or sense what WikiLeaks is going to release and it may be injurious enough to result in an indictment or a certainty that she can’t win...
They wouldn’t change the rules if Trump were gone. They would just say “to bad,” and Hillary would win. I think they are planning just in case something were to happen to Hillary.
Wow! They are laying the ground work for cancelling the election if it looks like Hillary will lose.
Cankles croaks, kain kontinues, trump triumphs, dems denounce, order obliterated, martial mandate....
iow, if she won’t be able to take the first debate physically or mentally.
so we should hear more of this line of reasoning around the time of the first debate(?).
...culminating in a delay or democrat bait and switch at that time(?).
This all presupposes that these candidates are alive now and not un-dead as some appear.
