It doesn't work that way. The votes for both positions are amalgamated when counted in the Senate, and it OB is disqualified, only Biden would h\ve a majority, and would become President, and John Mccain would become Vice-President. Please read Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution of the Untied States.
And actually knowing how to spell is your best buddy!
According to the Constitution, if Congress fails to certify a Vice President before January 20th due to the Democratic ticket being held up by Obama's birth certificate, the Vice-President before Janurary 20th becomes Acting-President.
In other words, Dick Cheney becomes Acting President.
After this point if Congress still can't resolve the election, especially in the case of Democrats refusing to vote for McCain as President, Dick Cheney remains Acting President of the United States until 2012.

You need to stop drinking.

I know the likelihood of that actually happening is very slim, but wouldn't that just chap the Democrats? It's fun just to think about it. :)
Go wash your mouth out with soap.
Well, would save on ammo for CivWarII. All the libs' heads would explode!

FANTASTIC!!!!!!
DICK CHENEY : PRESIDENT UNTIL 2012!!!!
Music to my ears, the perfect scenario!
I LOVE This Result!
Obama showed us how to throw anyone under the bus. Could it be Pelosi’s turn to toss obama under the bus and send this to SCOTUS? Wouldn’t that be fun to watch.
The election could be declared null.
The other outcome could be thatMccain/Palin would be awarded the electoral victory by the SCOTUS. on review of the constitutional isses.
The chances are slim. Scotus could easily declare that Hawaii Law is determinitive of judicial fact , and that is that Obama was de jure born in Hawaii even if his defacto birth was Kenya, by virtue of Hawaii's accepting registrations ex juris, as if they occurred in Hawaii. That is apparently the way it is done in Hawaii. They register anyone who has one Hawaian resident parent as if born physically in Hawaii.
Hillary would never allow it.
However if votes for The One were objected to, and the objection sustained (not bloody likely as it's the DemonRat Congress that would have to sustain it.) then no qualified cannidate would have gotten a majority of the votes, which throws the election into the House, but the House can only pick from the top three qualified candidates, who got electoral votes.Those would be McCain, McCain and McCain, unless some elector is "unfaithful" and votes for someone else, whom the House could then pick. I would expect that there might a couple of Dim electors who would vote for someone other than The One, possibly just as "insurance", in case the Bama candidacy goes all to snot. If that happened, then the House could pick that person, assuming they were qualified.
Local Police Chiefs also have the ability to issue firearms to citizens, and they are going to hand out 12 ga. SGs to people in the MORO region, to fight them off.
The way around this is to have a boat of foreign registry and keep your weapons on the boat, etc.
There is no way Pelosi can get the job, unless she is one of those other eligible persons who get votes from "rogue" electors". The same is true for Biden, who would however act as President until the House finally picks one.
No, the Constitution, 20th amendment, states that if by January 20th, no President shall have qualified, then the Vice President, which would likely be Biden, would act as President.
If Obami is shown not to be qualified, nothing Good will come of it, other than his not becoming President, and thus the Constitution being upheld.
But as to events in the country at large, nothing good.
Slight correction. the VP *acts* as President, until the House gets around to selecting a real one, which might indeed be until 2012. However the VP in question would not be the "old" VP, but rather the "new" one, assuming he is qualified to be President.
It would really be better for all concerned it this is going to come out, it does so *before* the elector meets and cast their votes, even though that could result in a Dim President, either by a majority of the electors voting for him, or by them splitting their votes among multiple candidates, and the election being thrown into the House, which would very likely pick one of the Dems.
kingu: Nancy Pelosi’s term as speaker of the house ends when congress meets to elect a new speaker in January. She can only inherit the presidency before that vote if George Bush and Dick Cheney both are incapacitated and unable to serve out their terms. Her term would end when the next president takes the oath of office in January.
Hey,that was my suggestion a few weeks ago, have them step down at the end when it doesn’t matter, she is it for the end and it opens up her office as speaker and as a rep so she would have to run again and the Republicans put the first woman President in even for a very short term.
