    Nope, but there's a non-profit, the Commission on Presidential Debates that gets funding when they happen. The debates are like the two parties having a smooch with various media agencies. It's all theater to shuffle money around, there's nothing in the constitution that says debates need to happen.

    There's also nothing in the constitution that says people directly vote for president. Senate is allowed to choose someone random if no one gets 50% of the electoral votes.
