He needs to resign immediately, and a new election called by the Fascist 5 on the Supreme Court.
This was not an election.
It was a sham.
It should not stand.

(3,847 posts)It was an act of war on America. Any elected leader that is not punding the podium demanding impeachment immediately they need to be voted out of office. McConnell and his lackies are all collaborators need to be charged for their crimes.
The railing against HRC during her campaign and after the election has been in fruiating. Was she the perfect candidate? No, there is no such thing as a perfect anything, so people that scream about how shitty her campaign was aren't helping get democrats elected. It is ripping us to shreds and the Rethugs are thrilled. I am as guilty as the next person, I didn't read her platform online, I did bitch about her middle of the road-ism and I didn't campaign enough for her.
She had great plans, great ideas, ideas that she has had for 30 years, ideas that have been torn to shreds since she first hit the spotlight. Are they perfect? No, what is? Is the ACA perfect? No, howsa' 'bout we improve rather than shredding everything before throwing into the garbage bin.
He is a traitor, she is imperfect. So why is anyone still bitching about her versus Bernie?

(115,574 posts)The Supreme Court couldn't do it if it wanted to because the Constitution doesn't give them that power. If Trump resigned Pence would become president. Apparently the framers of the Constitution didn't consider the possibility of a fixed presidential election - they delegated the election to electors chosen by the individual states and had the states manage the details of their own election procedures. There would have to be a means for the states to hold recall elections for their electors, and there isn't.

(50,236 posts)If Trump resigns we get Pence, but Pence is involved, too, so we get Ayn Rand Ryan. There should be a new election, but the founders didn't foresee a circumstance like our current mess so there's no remedy.
