Before anyone claims, "Any bill that isn't signed or vetoed for ten days (not counting Sundays - but no, we're not a Christian nation in any way) becomes law automatically," the Constitution says that the ten days start when the bill is presented to the President - which it couldn't have been, if he was "never President."

Um, no.
In this, the 2023-elected Speaker of the House becomes President.
Now, NOTHING prevents the 2023 House from installing Trump as Speaker for this end.
I assume the declaration COULD directly ask for the installation of Trump, but...
I would also think the nullification of the present budget may not be an unwanted consequence of such an action. Think what they believe actually caused this inflation spree.
