Are there similar wickets to be met for VP? If not...

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, mainly because the way it was originally designed to work is that all the candidates would run for President and the one who got the second-most votes would become VP (LOL).

Not sure about loopholes further down the line of succession, though. It's supposed to skip over people who aren't eligible, but what if nobody is eligible?
