<< he'd have to give up the Presidency and turn it over to Gore >> It is my understanding that in that case, the speaker of the house becomes the president.

Gore's term ends when Clinton's does, on Jan. 20. The Constitution seems to pass the buck to Congress to pass a law, and I don't know whether there's already one on the books. The 20th Amendment provides, in part: "Section 3. ... 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."
