Otherwise, how long do you think McConnell would have found a way to prevent Obama from taking the oath of office in 2008 and 2012? A year? Two years, until the first Citizens United Congress could take office?

We are a constitutional republic!!!! We have laws, none of which allow rerolls of the electoral dice.

Please stop posting such madness.

Thanks.

Implying that there are is wrong.

There is a very good reason why this is so. In our constitutional republic we have a centuries old heritage of accepting election results.

Now, I could get on board with an argument that this is a constitutional crisis. However, any call for a reroll of the dice has no credible basis. PERIOD!! Our laws do not support such a thing.

Calling for an election redo is at best ignorant of US law.

My question would be simple. How does that work? And who decides?

That's right. There is no way it works. Nobody has the power.

Enough with this utter rubbish.

You have no leg to stand on. Under our laws, THERE ARE NO FUCKING ELECTION REDOS!!

Arguing for one shows ignorance of over two centuries of our constitutional republic.

There is no mechanism for undoing an election. NONE! Other than impeachment and trial in the US Senate.

Some people here need to review their constitution.

And calling for one is extraordinary ignorance.

Again...

There are no answers to those.

So stop ringing that cockamamie redo the election bell.

Or that any law would apply retroactively to a previous election?

The redo the election argument is as delusional as anything I've heard.

I will ask you one last time about election redos.

Please be specific. And cite the appropriate laws.

I'm done with this idiocy.

and that work is long, difficult, & expensive, but in the end the only way short of armed revolution that we can depose a sitting POTUS. Better to get busy working on the 2018 midterms than to send Jill Stein your hard earned money so she can tilt at windmills. If you're going to donate money, donate it to the DNC - especially if Rep. Keith Ellison is tapped as the new chairperson.

As for the armed revolution, I wouldn't go around advocating that unless you want to wind up in jail. I don't think Orange Julius Caesar Trump will flinch at locking people up and throwing away the key if there's even a whiff of revolutionary uprising amongst the common folk.

Nor can another suggestion I read on DU, i.e., President Obama should declare a state of emergency and stay in office.
