I wonder if such a move would pass Constitutional muster? Does the Constitution require that the office of the President be filled at all times?

Unfortunately, Americans don't have the guts that it would take to vote None of the Above. Indeed, at the bottom of it, Americans don't want quality presidents and congresspeople. They just want people who give them what they "need."
I voted NOTA in 2004. And may well do it again if the GOP doesn't get their act together. Because the current Pinhead, just like the Pinhead Who Preceded Him, is unfit for the office. If the parties can't put anything but Pinheads on their ticket, then fuck 'em.
If you vote for a Pinhead, you're part of the problem.
I truly believe this.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
