(Ring Of Fire - Podcast) What is the political process if such an event would occur? It is a very good question given the fact that Senator McCain has had some very serious health issues. Although, his mother may be living a long life so far, this does not mean he will do the same given his health history and background.
With that said, here are three scenarios.
1. If something were to happen to him BEFORE the election, the Republican Party would be able to choose an new candidate. They do have the ability to move Palin up in this instance, but it would not be likely.
2. If something happens to him AFTER THE GENERAL ELECTION, BUT BEFORE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES, the designated electors of the Republican Party are then released from their obligations, and then they can vote for anyone they want. For instance, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, or Carl Rove, which takes the voters completely out of the equation. These electors would have the sole power to elect the next president, out of a group of people that were not even on the ballot.
3. Once the electoral votes are radified, Palin would be promoted to the Presidency as stated in the 21st Amendment. (God help us should this happen)
