Delay the US election

[mjcp]

Like I said, he'll find a way.

He's already thought of one way to circumvent congress... Linky -> Indy

There isn't a way, dummy.

He can shut down both houses (even if they disagree): Article II, Section 3, Clause 3 of the US constitution gives a president the power to adjourn both chambers.


Once he does that, he cannot be Impeached by them. That leaves resignation (he wont) and the 25th amendment. (Linky -> how to remove a sitting president)

That doesn't change the law, dummy.

[WTFH]

He has found ways to do things, he might choose an executive order that contains multiple points, let's go for a flippant example:
All states receive $100million, tax rates reduced by 10% and delay the election

That way, anyone who opposes the order will be presented as opposing tax cuts and opposing assistance, which makes them VERY BAD PEOPLE who are ANTI-AMERICAN.

He doesn't need to be impeached. Trump and Pence are constitutionally out of a job on January 20, 2021 without being reelected. End of story. Of course, they can cause all sorts of chaos until then, making the transition a non-transition, but the end result is clear.

But that is a completely separate point. He can do all sorts of things to try to win the election - that much is obvious. But he does need to win it.

He can change the calendar.

It will be Year 4 of thousands years long Trump Era.

I bet the Founding Fathers did not think of that one.

He will claim the election is invalid, remain in power and be unremovable by the (only) three options to remove a sitting president.


Until the Supremes rule he lost, he's the sitting pres. Once that's ruled, yes, he's just a citizen.

Hopefully he tries it because in that case he'll definately go to jail
