Who's the President?

[Mike B.]

There are now (FL has been settled), 332 Electors pledged to vote for Obama for President and Biden for Vice-President. If Obama did die of natural causes before they cast their ballots. I believe most likely they would elect Biden as President for four years, as he would already be sworn in as President.

They do vote seperately for Vice-President. Biden could probably communicate to the electors he wants x as his vice-president and they would no doubt follow along.

The 206 pledged to Romney/Ryan would simply vote Romeny/Ryan as they are honor bound to. But it would have no effect because the 332 would have the majority.

Of course none of this is going to happen, so it is just a big what if...interesting though.
