Hrmmm. Thats a good question. It would almost fall along the lines of what would happen if people had elected a already convicted felon without knowing it, although not quite.
I would think (just me thinking out loud mind you) that you would most likely see the VP elect become the President. BUT I don't know of any place I could cite to prove that. I DO know there would be a rash of people demanding a new election. In the case of a new election under those circumstances would the sitting president remain president until the new election was over?
I dunno, but that is a danged fine question you posted.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
