Amendment XX (pay attention to section 3) ....hmmmm. now I am working without a net. it seems that in the even that the electoral college doesnt pick either a pres. or VP, then congress just decides. I could have sworn that the VP acts as President until that decision is made.
Amendment XX
Section 1. The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.
Section 2. The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall begin at noon on the 3d day of January, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.
Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. 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.
Section 4. The Congress may by law provide for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the House of Representatives may choose a President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them, and for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the Senate may choose a Vice President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them.
Section 5. Sections 1 and 2 shall take effect on the 15th day of October following the ratification of this article.
Section 6. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission.

You know i was just kidding right? It was TIC cuz I had someone tell me that little birth certificate/supreme court story this morning so i was being a little sarcastic.
Yea I knew but it really is an interesting thing (understand I dont think in any way that BO isnt qualified to be president) to consider what the acutal process is.

I have had an interesting recurring dream 3 nights running... But I won't be sharing it here.
Trying to copy Scott?

But there are certain elements on this forum that it is unwise to share things with even if you consider them only a dream.
They seem to want to tear down anything they see that doesn't fit their very tiny paradigm even if it is being offered just for discussion sake.
You know the type...
Yes, I agree, but they don't make up the majority of those who post.
Scott said that he didn't want to reveal who was going to be president due to he not wanting to look like he was giving a political advertisement?
So he chose to inform the public about his revelation after the election?
That just sounds too bogus, and just another doomsdayer presenting his foolishness to bring publicity to himself.
Would your dream also be along the lines of Doomday prophecy?
