In 1972, after the DNC Convention, the Vice Presidential candidate Sen. Tom Eagleton, had to resign from the duly nominated ticket. McGovern then chose Sargent Shriver The DNC Chair had ti call the DNC national committee into session to nominate Shriver.

What isn’t answered is (1) what happens after ballots printed? and (2) What happens once voting starts and has not finished?

Eagleton-shock therapy. Goodcampaighn point. I wouldn’t want to vote for someone who was hooked up to jumper cables.

According to Ballotpedia the earliest voting starts on September 20, 2024, in Minnesota, South Dakota, and Virginia.

If it’s after the election, the Vice President-Elect takes office as President according to the 20th Amendment. People forget that there was an assassination attempt on FDR before he took office in March of 1933.
The 20th Amendment was passed because of this and the long time between the election, November, and the President taking office, March.
The guy who attempted to kill FDR (and who did kill the Mayor of Chicago) was executed within in weeks of his crime.

A big question is who first nominates a new Presidential candidate after the convention? I suppose they must have rules in both parties to deal with that.

Ballots do not matter.
The State Legislature is ultimately responsible for appointing the Electors.
If Electors pledged to a dead man are “chosen” by the voters, the State Legislature will provide them with alternate instructions.

The only question is if they are a democrat?
If yes, collect $ 200,000 and proceed to White house.

"And even though my colleague Bill Galston and I have written about the fact that both men are most likely what the scientists call “superagers” and not at all likely to die or become incapacitated any time soon"
I stopped right there when this guy claimed Biden wouldn't likely become incapacitated any time soon. He was incapacitated before the 2020 election was stolen. Elaine Kamarck is either a liar or incapacitated herself.

Yes, that is why I placed 7 Sep 2024 as the date on the posting.

That really doesn’t matter. The important things are the facts about how a replacement is made for Biden, if the Rats decide to push him into Shady Pines Old Folks Home.

You missed the point I made, that they already have a plan in place for that.

Here’s another question— what happens if a candidate is elected President but was put in jail prior to being elected?
To: PghBaldy
Reagan was 77 when he LEFT office, just shy of 78. He got hell as it was for being aged. Stop making it seem there isn’t much difference with Ronnie.
Never mind these guys are seriously old.

Could such a person have the oath of office administered in the prison
and then immediately pardon himself [ALONG WITH THE J6 POLITICAL PRISONERS]?
