Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.
Please read the Chapo Code of Conduct and remember...we're all comrades here.
Shitposting in other comms please!
joke ruining technicality, but also an even more insane scenario that could follow
If it happens before the electoral college votes they can pick someone else, though the draw means the House would likely decide between the substitute candidates.But if the funny thing happens after the electoral college votes, I don't even know what the House would be able to do.
Most likely Mike Johnson would become acting president since he's next in line. Assuming Rs win the House.
But lmao what if there's another internal fight over speakership between January 3rd and 20th? Johnson has been disappointing to the reps that kicked McCarthy out. No Speaker to become acting President means whatever nonagenarian they traditionally put at the head of the Senate has to be acting president.
