The 20th Amendment is pretty clear about this: if a President-elect has failed to qualify for the office (in this instance, failed to resign from any & all other constitutionally-incompatible offices), then the Vice President-elect - or, failing that, the next highest qualified person in the line of succession - acts as President 'til the President-elect has qualified to serve.

Gavin Newsom took an extra week to be sworn in as Lt Governor because he wanted to screw SF progressives first.

Lol I know that you're you, jfern, but what kinda take even is this!? Newsom delayed his resignation by a week so that a Board of Supervisors that'd be wholly composed of newly-elected members could take office & elect his successor, as opposed to the alternative that would've been resigning on time, thus resulting in 4 lame-duck, term-limited Supervisors getting a say in the matter, so are you trying to claim that Newsom was a bastion of democracy in Jan. 2011's SF compared to anti-lower-case-d-democratic SF-progressives, because that's what your claim pretty inherently admits there.
