No difference in process between the two scenarios is contemplated (i.e. not "until the President elect shall have qualified").
If the intent was for the VP to get a full term out of this, 20th would have paired "failure to qualify" with "failure to live" in the prior sentence, sans "acting" label.

Failure to qualify is dealt with in the same sentence as failure to choose, with the same, single prescription for both: VP serves as acting president only "until a President shall have qualified."

"Acting president" is "until someone qualifies," not One Weird Trick around the 12th. If Trump's votes are rejected and a House vote deemed necessary, a party line vote between Harris and "present" still wins her 38 states (every state with at least 1 Democrat).
Nominations closed on 12/17.

Lifting ban under the 14th requires 2/3 of both houses. If at least one house has such a vote and it fails to reach the 2/3 threshold, it demonstrates the ban (found by 3 states, never directly addressed by SCOTUS) still stands.

Why impeach when you can enforce existing prohibitions and go straight to Harris?

Enforce 14th Amdt. disqualification retroactively to Inauguration Day (if not de jure 1/6/21). Vance serves as "acting president" (as per 20th under "failure to qualify") just long enough for Harris to find a federal judge to swear her in (only non-disqualified candidate with electoral votes).

When will you yourself stand up? When will you stop calling Donald Trump "President?"
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars Trump from serving in public office. When will this finally get so much as a mention in Congress?

After attacking the Capitol, Donald Trump has been prohibited from serving in public office by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Why the continued silence?

One sign of an unhealthy democracy is when elected representatives choose to ignore clear Constitutional language.
Donald Trump has been barred from public office by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment since 2021. Why is the supreme Law of the Land still unenforced?

You're allowing Trump to "turn back the clock" by continuing to pretend that his insurrection on January 6, 2021 didn't happen. Under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, insurrections have consequences.
How about working for "No person shall" for a change?

The plan is to ignore the Constitution and allow an oathbreaking insurrectionist back into the White House. Everything hinges on that.
By "defending norms" maintaining your silence on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, you're not fighting, you're collaborating.

The Big Lie of 2025, the one that both parties are complicit in perpetuating, is that Donald Trump is Constitutionally allowed to be President.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment prohibits insurrectionists from returning to power. Where are your short-form videos on this?

The most important part of your message is you still addressing him as "President."
What should be "loud and clear" is the Constitution you swore to support and defend. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars Trump from public office.
