Ahh, but keep in mind, the Senate is evenly split at the moment, 50/50 (technically 50R 48D 2i), and without a sitting VP to be a tie-breaker, and at a time like this, plenty of crazy things can happen - backroom deals, party switching. Majority control could switch hands at any time. Also, Leahy is 82, has been in the hospital 3 times in the last 2 years and has already announced his retirement at the end of this term - just months left to go til he's OUT.
That's why I think relying on the Senate to pick someone who isn't a swamp rat is a very faint hope, and if you read that Wiki article, you can see at least one instance of a candidate being blocked because he wasn't wanted in the WH.
Decertification would mean a situation not covered in the Constitution and we have to wing it until a valid election is held and counted. We can't go back to the status quo of Nov. 2, 2020, because every term has expired that hinged on it. Nor can we be sure that all the winners on Nov. 3 did win by cheating--every winner, whether legitimate or not, would sue and complain forever. There is no fixing 2020. The only thing that might be fixed is the voting process.
Even if all 2020 election results were declared void and set aside, there still exists a Senate, about 2/3rds full - people elected in '16 and '18. And many of the vacancies could be quickly filled by Governors' appointments. This means there would be a legitimate Senate Pro Tem to succeed to the Presidency.
Gavin Newsome. He visited the WH when Biden was out. Kamala will likely step down to take a post in a Soros NGO somewhere. Biden will appoint Newsome. After all the rigamarole Biden will get sick 6 months later and step down.
With Pelosi and Biden out of the picture, they only need Kameltoe in power for a couple of minutes, so she can install either Ozero or Kankles as VP, then if she is disqualified, The VP steps up to the podium.
Pelosi has vacated her post and is using Taiwan as a crass smoke screen.
The Cabal is re-arranging the players, with a few being thrown under the bus.
It's not like I Dream Of Jeannie, where she just blinks, and -DOINK! - there's a new VP. There is consultation with Congressional leadership, and then a required vote in both chambers.
To explain further, with an example, Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned on October 10, 1973, but Congress didn't confirm Gerald Ford until December 6 of that year.
Except Congress has ignored the whole "US citizen" thing for a while.
It goes to the Senator pro tem who is Leahy, atm, and then through the Cabinet, so it's swamp turtles all the way down.

What's that matter... Am i not turtley enough for your turtle party? - mitch McConnell
We know you are part of the stack. https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Turtles_all_the_way_down
No, it goes to Kamala.
You cannot become VP, if you cannot become POTUS.
So, since she is OBVIOUSLY VP... it goes to her.
After the VP it goes to Speaker of the House and then the Senate President Pro Tem. But the question was, what if Kamala is ineligible.
Hard to tell but the power hungry vipers are ageing out and it may become quite interesting, probably wont but theres a slight chance
That didn't stop them from putting Obama in office 😒
Thought it was Grassley the other day. Today, I'm not so sure. How would decertification affect this?

In every other country where a citizen government fails, the military steps in until a new government is installed. The military is the only way.

Maybe. Or maybe not. The Senate President Pro Tem is elected by the Senate, and the history of this office is a good example of winging it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_pro_tempore_of_the_United_States_Senate

Funny i was just talking to my wife about kamala not being a natural born citizen on the way to church this morning.
The key is to make the office as irrelevant as possible. Devolution.
