[I am not American hence I don't know American Laws\Constitution]
I was wondering what would happen if one of the two candidates running for President dies - knock wood - before the imminent elections. Does his\her VP takes his place in the run for the office (and, of course, another Senator has to be chosen as VP) or what else?
I don't know if I made my point clear.
I do not mean what happens if a newly elected US President dies, just if one of the 2 candidates does (before the elections).
Thanks
