AP EXPLAINS: What happens if a candidate for president dies?

news.yahoo.com...

As circumstances clash and kerfuffles collide, all centering on our up coming election period , the course of our history seems obfuscated.

With one candidate under quarantine and public prognosis's of his status varying widely, questions of just how our elections MIGHT be determined should a worst case scenario come about arise.

I admit that the intricacies of how, under extreme circumstances ,the election could be resolved have been beyond my knowledge base . So I went looking and found this. Much of it seems rather common sense but there are also a number of points I had never considered before.

As many of us here like to speculate, here are some guidelines upon which those speculations might revolve.

As well, at the end of the article are several cases where Congress made the final decision on contested elections from over 150 years ago.

Yeah would suck if Biden passed, would like to see Him lose legitimately. I know thats not the AP's or Democrats hopes but Trump seems just fine.

As an internet expert on America and elections I can safely say that if Trump dies of Covid and we're left with Biden, then the US returns control back to the United Kingdom and the Constitution and Declaration of Independence becomes null and void.

It's actually in the Constitution.

Look it up.

I'm not sure that the Queen would express much interest. The look on her face would be... interesting.

I hope he heals up quick, if he dies, it will get much uglier, you have absolute wingnuts who think this is an assassination rather than dear leader accept personal responsibility for his often at times..nonchalance.

Already got my television loicense just in case. If news comes out Trump is dead, I'll throw out all my kitchen knives.

God save the queen.

Great. First they steal all our good shows like The Office, Top Gear and Shameless and now we gotta go back to them and get stuck with their chow? I'm moving to somewhere the Queen doesn't control like the surface of the sun.

No, not shocking, but I am puzzled a bit at who is biting into this.
