Forgive me if my reply pirates the thread at all, but my wife and I were discussing a similar situation: If Obama died between now and Inauguration Day, would VP-Elect Biden be sworn-in as President on Inauguration Day, or would Congress or the Supreme Court or the Electroral College, etc., have to appoint someone as President as of that day?

I would assume that Biden's "heartbeat away" status counts only after he is inaugurated as Vice President, but maybe not.

Anyone?
