I think I understand what you're saying here, Ocean (and thanks for your response to my question!!), but I guess what I am wondering is that, if Trump is not able to complete his term because of illness/health reasons, and is removed via Article 25, then the current GOP ticket of Trump/Pence would have no POTUS candidate. Pence is the VP candidate on the ticket. In that position, would Pence have to pick a running mate for POTUS/VPOTUS this late in the election cycle?? The next person in line, after VP Pence, is SOH Pelosi, who is of the opposing political party.

I'm seriously hoping that Biden WILL win the election, but how does Trump's health status impact the election and the GOP ticket now, if he has to step aside per Article 25, and especially since Trump is at risk for the most severe form of the infection??

The plot sickens.
