You know who else wasn't elected president?

Well it has never happened before , So I would say it might be taken to court and questioned.
Vance WAS NOT elected President and has no right to take office as President.
Trump has not been sworn in so he can not be elevated to President , Trump is not President yet, and Vance can not take his place

If a president-elect dies before being inaugurated, the process is outlined by the 20th Amendment to the United States Constitution and relevant laws:

  1. 20th Amendment: This amendment specifies that if the President-elect dies before inauguration, the Vice President-elect would be sworn in as President on January 20th.
    • Section 3 of the 20th Amendment states: "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."
  2. Succession: The Vice President-elect would immediately become the President upon taking the oath of office. This has never happened in U.S. history, so it's based on the legal interpretation of the amendment.
  3. Political and Practical Considerations:
    • Cabinet: The new President would then need to appoint a new Vice President, which would require confirmation by both houses of Congress according to the 25th Amendment.
    • Public Announcement: There would likely be an immediate public announcement from senior government officials or party leaders.
    • Ceremony: The inauguration ceremony would proceed, but with the Vice President-elect taking the presidential oath instead.
  4. Legislative Action: Congress might consider any necessary legislative actions, although the immediate constitutional process is clear. There could be debates or discussions on any perceived gaps in the law or suggestions for amendments to clarify or improve the process.
  5. Historical Context: While this specific scenario has not occurred, there have been instances where such succession was a concern, like when President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt narrowly escaped assassination in 1933, where if he had died, Vice President-elect John Nance Garner would have become President.

This scenario would represent a significant moment in U.S. political history, likely leading to a period of national mourning combined with the immediate transition of power as outlined by the Constitution.

I just looked it up too
The 20th Amendment states that if the president-elect dies before beginning his term, then the vice president-elect assumes his or her spot. However, the point at which a candidate officially becomes "president-elect" is debatable. He or she definitely assumes the title after Jan. 6, when a joint session of Congress officially counts the Electoral College votes and declares a winner. But the shift could be said to occur immediately after the Electoral College vote.
Well if it happens before Jan 6 then Vance can't .
And I guess we have to have another election,

You are a simpleton. Courts do not determine the progression if the President-elect dies before taking office.

The Constitution does.

Excuse yourself from serious discussions in the future.

Keep guessing.

BTW, you should know that @Damocles always cooperates with law enforcement requests.
