But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them,
before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.
Dick Cheney ??????????
And Cheney picks Palin as Veep. If Cheney’s heart gives out in two years, Palin is sworn in. Sad for Cheney but, weird twist of fate.
