Yep... the US Constitution, as amended, already makes good provision for this... it's "covered"... no sweat...In a nutshell.
After the chaotic 1800 presidential election ended with Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr each at 73 electoral votes, the 12th Amendment was ratified to better govern the process of choosing a chief executive.
\It established rules about what to do in case of a tie or if no candidate received a majority of electoral votes, finding its solution in a contingent election that takes place Jan. 6 in the new Congress.
In this scenario, the House of Representatives decides who among the top three Electoral College finishers becomes president, and the Senate determines who becomes vice president among the top two finishers for that position.
Each state’s delegation in the House (i.e., all its allotted representatives) gets a single vote, and the next president becomes the candidate who receives a majority 26 of 50 state votes. In the Senate, each senator gets one vote to pick the vice president, with 51 votes needed to determine a winner.
Not gonna happen. Nebraska not gonna go for it.
This is fascinating. As if the political situation isn’t already crazy enough and the country divided enough, picture this:
Trump and Harris finish in a 269 to 269 electoral college tie. Several maps are shown of how this could happen. Now we will shift into tie breaker mode.... Advantage TRUMP.
I'll give it a 15 percent chance of happening. Don't kid yourself, It CAN HAPPEN. There are several maps showing in red and blue the various scenarios.Not gonna happen. Nebraska not gonna go for it.
What I didn't see was. If the there is a tie in the Senate for VP then who breaks the tie as there would be no sitting VP?Yep... the US Constitution, as amended, already makes good provision for this... it's "covered"... no sweat...

Just leave the position vacant and if something happens to POTUS the leader of the House takes over?
Well I guess a sitting VP could vote for themselves.The vote would take place before the inauguration of the new administration. The sitting VP casts the deciding vote as per usual procedure in the Senate.
Goes to house then.

The only map showing a tie in the electoral college has both Nebraska votes going to Trump. Not likely since the attempt to stop the split of Neb electoral votes failedI'll give it a 15 percent chance of happening. Don't kid yourself, It CAN HAPPEN.

Excuse me. I should have said all not both.Please don't post unless you know what you are talking about.
Nebraska has 5 electoral votes.
How Many Electoral College Votes Does Each U.S. State Have?
Every U.S. presidential election is determined by the electoral college. Find out how many votes each state has.
It would be the new congress that selects the President...

Those maps do NOT show "all" Nebraska votes going to Trump. They show a split of the 5 votes. Nebraska, and Maine, might not send all electoral votes to a single candidate.Excuse me. I should have said all not both.
The split remains. The attempt failed

MAGA would go mental and say she is bias...Technically Harris would be voting for Walz or Vance.
