宪法第20条修正案第3条: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. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
如果大选后还未宣誓President elect(这时已不仅是候选人,而是赢得选举的下一任总统)死了,那么赢得选举的副总统将作为总统参加宣誓并担任下一任四年的总统。这之间不需要多长时间的过渡期。如果下一任总统只是昏迷,下一任副总统应该成为临时总统,直到总统能够行使总统的职责为止。这个情况同样不需要过渡期。 |
