What's the second one?

#2 - No primary contest.

Even if Biden anoints a replacement, there will still likely be a contest, as I'm sure some people will want someone other than the anointed one. Lichtman brought that up in a recent interview. The actual test for this one is the incumbent party nominee winning at least 2/3 of the delegates on the first ballot at the convention. So it's possible for a replacement to keep this true, but with a fairly open convention, that seems unlikely.
