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
Additional question. If the Vice President takes over and becomes President, do they finish the full term or are they just interim president until a new election can take place?
They finish the current term and appoint a new VP. The election calendar doesn’t change
Thanks.
So the new President just picks whomever they want to be Vice President? It doesn’t automatically become the Speaker of the House? Also, is there a confirmation process that the VP nominee has to complete similar to Supreme Court Justices?
Yes, No, and Yes.
