with the Election ALREADY begun, what happens if the pres ELECT (Biden) got sick and passed before Jan.? (Im assuming landslide biden win, but he could even be sick by Nov...)
same rules right? Kamala becomes the Pres and nominates a new VP right?
I am not trying to be doomsday or weird about this. But Biden is no spring chicken either. And even though he's definitely in better shape than drump, this virus is very unpredictable.
So has anyone got word on this?

I'm looking for the actual law on this.
IF the Pres Elect meets his demise before inauguration, it should go to VP just like Pence right?

After all, Biden wears the biggest mask that trumps ever seen.
Time will tell.

(25,587 posts)It was a bit of a debased affair with an open bar, open buffet, load music, costumes and bowling.
I don't know if I was exposed or not since I did not know many of the people there. But even within my own family, I would have no idea whether my other grown kids had Covid 19, much less other relatives etc. So I just quarantined myself. I'm surprised it wasn't a superspreader event. I was very relieved after two weeks.
