It does not say who resolves the matter in the first case of the PE being the only one failing to qualify. But that is a different issue than the one we were originally discussing. As you say, “it is important... also”.
It does not say who resolves the matter in the first case of the PE being the only one failing to qualify. But that is a different issue than the one we were originally discussing. As you say, “it is important... also”.It does say that the VP elect will act as president. It doesn't appear to allow for anyone else to qualify at that point though. In the case of an under aged president-elect at least he might eventually qualify. In the case of non-natural born it sounds like we would have four years of an acting president. I don't see a place for the Supreme Court to get involved.
It would be a hard case to make that the authors of the 20th meant to have the courts resolve the case of only the president-elect not qualifying but for Congress to resolve the case of neither the president-elect or the vp-elect qualifying.
I just don't see how the courts could get involved at this point.
