What happens, in ANY presidential election, if on lets say October 15th
as in 3 weeks prior to election, with all the ballots made up or whatever (I am sincerely asking for the experts to tell me what happens) and for ANY reason the candidate for president on EITHER party ticket is unable to continue?
Forget why, forget which party this is happening to; for instance if 3 weeks prior to election the candidate for prez for X party disappears on a spaceship with aliens from another planet (trying to make this simple, generic and not complicated) what happens?
Does the VP candidate on that ticket become the P candidate if the party says that is what they want, or what happens, please someone tell me.
Someone knows Slo Joe aint gonna make it...

1. Pence would become the repug presidential candidate. I'm not sure about the non-encumbent...
party's position.

3. Dunno.
None of this is in the Constitution. It is up to the party. Then, I imagine all sorts of people will sue each other.
People have died and remained on the ballot. Some of them have even been elected after they are dead. But a President?
Let the speculation begin.

The authors of the Constitution never envisioned that a party would be so corrupt as to select a brain addled candidate to be a place holder for the party's more radical black female candidate who couldn't even make it thru the primary process to become the party's legitimate candidate.

Is Eliot afraid Kammy will get impatient and have the hit on Joe carried out before the election? :rotf: :tongue: Or that Joe really is down to his last couple of marbles?
