The previous answer was rude and uncalled for so here's what I've found: If the President-elect dies after the Electoral college votes (Dec 20th this year) then the Vice-President Elect is inaugurated as the President. If the President-elect dies after the general election and before the Electoral College votes then congress by law may select the President This comes from the twentieth Ammendment - section 3: Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
