263. Clarification on the Constitution

Tue May 31, 2016, 11:03 PM

May 2016

Yes, if no one has 270 then the Senate picks the VP, but the choice is limited to the two people who got the most electoral votes for VP. If it's a 269-269 tie, or something like a 268-267 finish with the Libertarians picking off Alaska; and if all the electors adhere to their pre-election plans in their VP voting; and if (as you assume) the Democrats get the Senate majority, then the new VP would be whoever was the Democratic candidate for that job.

That Democratic VP would be serving under President Paul Ryan, because if the vote is that close then the electors won't all adhere to their plans for President.. A few of them will defect from Trump to Ryan, enough to put Ryan in third place in electoral votes. The House chooses the new President among the top three finishers. (Sorry, Governor Johnson -- that's top three in electoral votes, not popular votes.)
