Who would be President if biden falls again and goes into a coma before innauguration

[Canon Shooter]

Trump would remain president until a new election can be set up....

No, he wouldn't...

Then who would?

As posted above:

After Congressional certification and before inauguration day, the 20th amendment would kick in. It provides that “if, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the president, the president elect shall have died, the vice president elect shall become president.”

Trump got more votes than Harris...

That doesn't matter.

Your logic would then say that, if Biden died in office, that Trump should assume the office. After all, he got more votes than Harris, right?

But, of course, we know that's not how it works...

There hasn't been a congressional certification yet...that happens in two weeks...

Okay, we weren't talking about only the next two weeks, though.

Besides, whatever happens with Biden has no impact on Trump. Unless he's suddenly declared thye winner, he's out of a job at 12:01pm, 1/20/21. He doesn't remain in office after that, regardless of what happens from this point forward...

two weeks is a lifetime in DC.....

Um, okay.

Swell.

That doesn't even come close to addressing the topic, though...

He could be inaugurated while in the coma, minus the acceptance speech stuff, then be President after he comes out of the coma. Pretty simple really.

Also requires the oath of office which also requires being conscious. Not sure he can pass that requirement now.

You're not sure alright.

And you're not sure it isn't. But I do believe it is a legal requirement. Prove me wrong.

Sorry. I checked my daily planner and wasting time with you isn't on it.
