Monkey wrench the results of the 2016 election?
Raise money and sign petitions in huge numbers for recounts even after deadlines expire? Faithless electors? Keep the system logjammed and elections officials running like chickens? Just do whatever possible to stop him from ascending to the Presidency? Would Obama have to stay on? I'm talking revolution. Nonviolent.

Unfortunately the framers didn't leave any "outs" except for the electoral college, and with a republican congress, even that won't work as intended.

(7,290 posts)That's a Constitutional requirement. Unless Trump dies or is indicted before then, it's going to be him; if he does die or is indicted, it will be Pence.
Short of a violent overthrow of the government and suspension of the Constitution, those are pretty much the choices.
