I believe their VP picks would move up to first place on the ticket and they would need to find a VP pick.
I sure don’t know the answer! I don’t think the Founding Fathers allowed for this in the Constitution!
Probably, the V.P. Candidate would be elevated to Presidential Candidate. He/she would have to immediately choose a new V.P. Candidate.
The closest thing I can compare this to is the mess with Nixon, Agnew, and Ford back in the 70′s. Ford ended up the President, tho’ he was never elected to the office of President or V.P. He was a pretty nice guy tho’.
Interesting question!
I don’t think there is an official answer for this scenario in the Constitution, and it would be unprecedented.
I guess Congress would have to act, and The Supreme Court would have to approve the measure eventually.
Then, after all that, a Constitutional amendment would be passed for the future.
In 1933, President-elect Roosevelt narrowly missed assassination, but the guy sitting next to him, Mayor Cermack, was fatally wounded. Congress should have addressed these things then.
That would be impossible because people who vote absentee have already began voting.
