Overlooked Election doomsday scenario

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

To step back a moment from this scenario, let us consider when the electoral votes are counted. While not explicitly included in the text of the Twentieth Amendment, in a House report issued at the time concerning the debate, it indicates that the sense of the House was that a person became President-elect (or Vice President-elect) when a majority of the electoral votes was cast for em and not upon when those votes are counted.

Hence it would be consistent that in the absence of legislation providing otherwise, that when a person who is one of the choices in a contingent election dies, he remains a choice for the election, and if the dead person is chosen as President-elect, then in accordance with the twentieth amendment, when 20 January rolls around, the Vice President-elect is sworn in as President.

Congress could pass a law that stated otherwise, for example it could pass a law that would provide that if the election devolves to the House, then for each elector who cast a ballot for a dead person for the Presidency, their Vice Presidential vote would be treated as a vote for President.
