If something terribly happened, and the U.S. President Elect died, what would their title be in memorium? "President" isn't quite accurate, because they never got to take the oath of office or serve, but "President-Elect" seems too sad a statement of unrealized potential to use for all of history. Is there already a protocol for this eventuality? I realize it's morbid, but I'm curious.

Sorry if I was unclear. The articles of succession are pretty clear as to how he would be replaced, but I'm mostly asking how we would honor the deceased.

President elect until they take the oath of office. From the second they take the oath they are President. Until then they are president elect. It has never happened and let us pray it never does.

It would then go to the VP elect and that person would then be considered President elect.
The only title available would have President elect, there is nothing else in existence.

definitely, this is in our Consittution. For each and all of the subject concerns the two authentic and imagined that we've as a rustic that's certainly one of our optimal characteristics. we live in a democracy with in simple terms rules and for the main area those rules are enforced and observed ...what proportion international locations over the final 50 years settle their political transformations with lawlessness interior the streets/coup-d'etat/assassinations/depor... resignations of their heads of state for the two authentic or imagined infractions. certainly one of those super style of alternative countires settle issues with enormous sticks while it comprises inner political ideals. We even experienced an assasination back in sixty 3 however the transition of the administrative branch went easily and effectively in simple terms because it substitute into designed to take place. No highway brawling-no wrangling interior the congress-no posturing via wannaby presidents-no political disaster of any style and no sword brandshing via our enemies at a perceived time of weak point. Our enemies of stature relaize how nicely it works in this u . s . and that they do no longer see this time of weak point in this u . s .. could the subsequent presiden di in place of work or in any different case substitute into incapacitated then the two Biden or Pailin would be our sitting president and reamin so for the the remainder of that presidents term. and then they'll ahve to campaign and get elected like countless different candidate..

Well, we haven't had a president elect since 1992. In 2000, shrub was the "President-Appoint." Although in retrospect, he is really the "President-Disappoint." Anyway, that aside, you raise a much more important question: what happens to the country and the office of the president if the elected president were assassinated before taking office? I hope we never have to find out.

What would probably happen is the Congress would postumously declare him presidemt, the VP would take the oath and then choose a new VP
