Do you really and truly think that Biden would step in??? I find it amazing that anyone would think Biden would take over in view of the fact of his coverup. Doesn’t the cover up constitute fraud??? As I said, we are definitely in uncharted waters and under normal circumstances I believe you are probably right but I think McCain could be ‘appointed’ to complete Obama’s term. BTW, I have indeed read the constitution and while it doesn’t say the person with the next highest number of votes would be put in the position, it also makes no mention of a situation where all of the people in power have committed fraud. Hence, unchyarted waters!

I strongly suggest you read the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.

Then impeach him and say "Hello" to President Nancy Pelosi.

...but I think McCain could be ‘appointed’ to complete Obama’s term.

Again, read the 25th Amendment and also the Presidential Succession Act of 1947. You will find that the losing candidate is nowhere to be found in the line of succession.

BTW, I have indeed read the constitution and while it doesn’t say the person with the next highest number of votes would be put in the position, it also makes no mention of a situation where all of the people in power have committed fraud.

If you read it like you said then you must also have read the 12th and 20th Amendment. A majority of electoral votes is needed for a candidate to be declared president otherwise it goes to Congress. McCain didn't come anywhere near that number.

Hence, unchyarted waters!

All you need to do is read the Constitution and the laws in place. That tells us what to do.
