Seeing Kingpoleon swear in and resign for VP the same day, does it mean NCYankee is VP right away or only in January just before the switch in President.
From what I understand, the plan is for Yankee to be nominated to replace Kingpoleon more or less immediately; obviously, he will need to be confirmed by the Senate before taking office.

I thought the law in case of a tie after run off said each candidate gets half the term. I presume it is the whole ticket, including the VP.  
As Scott and Yankee explained earlier, that law is probably unconstitutional, as there is no provision in the Constitution that allows Congress to split the president's term in half.

So does that make me VP, as my opponent declined to serve his half of the term, or what does this mean exactly?
No. Per past precedent, the vice presidency is now vacant pending the confirmation of a replacement by the Senate (presumably, Blair will nominate Yankee to fill the vacancy, per the terms of this agreement).
