I don’t know if that is necessarily the case. President-elect Obama has not been sworn in, so that means that Biden is not yet the Vice President so that doesn’t automatically make Biden the new President. If this can be handled before the Electoral College votes, I think that something dramatic will happen. However, I still don’t believe that will automatically give Biden the Presidency.
We’ll see how this goes.
I’m fairly sure of my posting, having reviewed the appropriate laws. The agency I contract with, the GSA, is responsible for the transition’s physical aspects.
