This might qualify as a vanity post since I'm posting a link to my own work; if so, mods please re-label as such. The other day, in a thread about what would happen if the Pres-elect and VP-elect both died before inauguration, I posted an early version of this article to answer part of the question. Since it got a favorable reponse, I thought some people might be interested in the full article. The first half is kind of dry, but thats Constitutional law for you. (And to be clear, I am not a lawyer.) Once we hit 1876... well, it's not lacking in viewpoint.

What's the problem? The Constitution has a reasonable, viable backup plan if the Electoral College produces a tie or is otherwise unacceptable.

The only collision will be the one scammed by the dems much as the accident/insurance scam was perpetuated by those who would ram your car intentionally.

The Constitution trumps politics every damned time. It is up to us to spread the word...That is the way our Founding Fathers framed it.

Besides, I think it is something put out there to add more excitement to an overloaded election.

(That or a diversion. Talk about another Constitutional Crisis & there is no talk about the weapons in Iraq and Kerry's lies.)
