What does Rule 9 do?
Rule 9 grants the Republican National Committee the authority to find a replacement nominee in the event that its presidential or vice presidential nominee dies or drops out of the race in between the national convention and the general election. It says that if a Republican candidate for president or vice president leaves the race due to “death, declination, or otherwise” after the national convention, the Republican National Committee (RNC) has the authority to fill a vacancy by a majority vote of its 168 members or by reconvening the national convention.
