And, again, as I understand it your position as to why Trump cannot be elected VP stems from the 12th, not the 22nd? I agree that your interpretation would be cleaner, but still do not understand the basis for that position in the 12th. Is there some academic literature that discusses that position?Senate confirmation. I think under that scenario, the Trump figure would probably be deemed an officer of the United States, but it's hard to know.
As for your other hypos: Trump cannot get elected VP. He can be appointed speaker, and from that position he could succeed to the presidency if the speaker can succeed. This is a simple resolution that avoids basically any and all slippery slope hypos (I think).
