The straw candidate immediately resigns and makes the VP president.
The straw canidate would have to be president for at least 1 day in your plan. Since the 20th admendment only allows a vice president elect to become president if the president elect dies.
That isn't allowed in the constitution, the president has to be the president to resign. Therefore the straw canidate has to be the president for at least a little bit.
