what if this is elections' scenario

Yeah, and he could possibly give the presidency to the opposition. In such an event could he postpone it, by stepping down or something? Or make a swich in speakers or whatever?

3 US 20: The only evidence of a refusal to accept, or of a resignation of the office of President or Vice President, shall be an instrument in writing, declaring the same, and subscribed by the person refusing to accept or resigning, as the case may be, and delivered into the office of the Secretary of State. The Speaker could deliver his refusal to the Secretyary of State, and would then not need to step down from the House.

Is there and end to the line of succession? I know that's VERY unlikely, butif there is could you end up without a president alltogether?

you hane the cabinet ministers by some order

There was a bit of discussion in 2000 as well. There was some thought that if the legal wrangling was not concluded in time, the House could have been blocked from voting, and on Jan 20 the sucession sequence would matter. More than one media outlet discussed wheter Hastert would step down to be interim President, since next in line at that time was Sen. Thurmond.
