However, they might try to push the VP idea regardless of litigation. It would be so obvious though.

Appointment as Speaker and both newly elected Prez and VP resign simultaneously. It would require three (3) stooges who (in the scenario) would win power by plurality of votes and then give up voluntarily the three most powerful roles in the country. Even in the cult it would be hard to find a couple of stooges who could actually win a national vote even in the face of wide publicity about their scheme.
