What happens to the election if Biden dies before it?

  • With considerable time til the election
  • Not enough time to change the election

Assuming Biden wins on election day, what is the procedure at various stages throughout the election if Biden dies?

  • After election day but before votes are counted
  • Votes counted but not certified by Congress
  • Certified but not inaugurated
  • Any other stages I’ve missed

    I think it’d also count as a full term in office so far as the rule against running more than twice goes. So you could run for reelection, but that isn’t a “one werid trick” to getting three terms in office.

      it’s a two-term limit with a 10-year maximum. if the vice president gets called up 23 months before the end of the president’s term, they could potentially successfully serve two and a half full terms

      One weird trick for getting the FDR special: assassinate your running mate before your first term starts
