When the President-elect dies just two days after his close victory, the assumption is that his running mate steps up. After all, isn't that the way the constitution works? Well actually - no. Because as we're reminded every four years, but always ignore, until the electoral college meets in December NOBODY has been elected and with the candidate dead, the electors can indeed vote for the vice-presidential candidate - or they can vote for the other guy, their mothers-in-law or Geraldo Rivera, for that matter. The rules are out the window.
This is a work of fiction but we should me reminded that our election is coming and ... what if?
