I've written about this in the election selection.

even if that happened, which it wont...

GWB would not continue as president. He would be out and Dick Cheney would be the acting president until the crisis was over.

If Barak Obama were deemed unable to serve before the Jan. 4 Electoral College vote, then the Electors could vote for whom ever they wanted. They could elect Joe Biden President, or YOU for that matter. Likely they would elect a democrat because the majority of Electors are democrats. I would theorize it would either be Biden or Hillary. However the Electors could be split and then it would be possible that McCain would be elected.


If Obama was deemed unable to serve after Jan.4 then in all likely hood Joe Biden would be elevated based on the Constitutional succession rules. However that is somewhat unclear (if I understand correctly) and thus the Supreme Court would be involved giving congress direction on how to solve the problem.

Cheney would be acting President in the meantime and the new Congress (dominated by democrats in both houses) would settle the succession issue.

No matter what GWB is OUT.
