The 25th amendment's first clause just covers resignation, removal, and death, however under the fourth clause the VP and a majority of the cabinet can write a letter to Congress saying, "yo, the President isn't able to do his job" at which point the VP becomes Acting President.

This would have to happen after Congress certifies the results of the election.

What happens if Congress doesn't certify the results of the election? I mean its Clinton so there's no way her winning an election is legitimate, of course. :smug:

Some fan theories may come to pass, such as:

~ trump quits before the election is over

~ trump starts his own party just to fleece those rubes 24/7 forever

It's good that sitting Republican Senators and the presumptive Republican nominee are going to start trading venomous barbs in the press.

Kirk's been running anti-Trump ads here in Illinois recently. He knows its his only shot to hold onto to his seat.

That is what is so fascinating about this election (to me). The ultimate test of demographics being destiny spiel passed around the last couple of presidential cycles (by me, too). Trump was like someone made in a lab to test a thesis: can enough angry white men elect a president?

So, hypothetically speaking, say Trump somehow manages to win the election, and then just decides not to serve or ever take the oath of office? Does the Presidency just go to his VP pick?

The Constitution doesn't specify, since it says the President of the Senate (i.e. the outgoing Vice President) shall open the correspondence from the electoral college and count the votes.

However, it does state that, in the event no candidate receives a majority of the votes, and the House doesn't pick a President by March 4, the VP is the President.

The latest polls there put it between 5-8% for Trump.

Johnson would have to make the debates and then make a respectable appearance for Clinton to have a shot in Texas.

This would have to happen after Congress certifies the results of the election.

That was intended to be used for medical issues (it's actually regularly invoked whenever the president is in surgery and such...Biden becomes acting president for a couple of hours, and goes back to normal afterwards).

It doesn't have to be used for medical issues, although it's hard to imagine it being used in a coup way because the President could just pull a John Tyler and fire the entire cabinet rather than let them remove him.

Does anyone have a link to that site that shows all of the states on a nice chart ranked from strong Dem to strong Rep with total electoral votes based on current polling and you can see where they meet in the middle how much one side needs to win to get 270? It was posted a few days ago but had out of date polling if I remember correctly.
