General Discussion
Showing Original Post only (View all)I have suggested this before and it was pretty much dismissed as "You can't do that because [View all]
it isn't mentioned in the Constitution and it's never been done before." I'm back.
The Trump "presidency" doesn't just need to be ended--- it needs to be "anulled" in most respects. "Anulled" means it is legally "held for naught", i.e., treated as though it never existed. The annulment could consist of requiring that ALL appointments---including judicial---would have to be reconfirmed by Congress as a whole. Similarly, a majority vote of Congress could require the reconsideration of any laws, treaties, etc signed or agreed to by the "president".
The basis for the annulment, of course, would be plain old garden variety FRAUD. With the help of Russia and Trump's cadre of domestic fascists, some were fraudulently barred from voting and others were manipulated to vote for a candidate who fraudulently represented himself as something he was not. A contract procured by fraud may be ruled " "void ab initio" or, invalid from day one.
Why should we treat a "presidency" procured by fraud any differently?
New statutes COULD be passed and signed into law.
The Constitution COULD be construed to provide a remedy for a monstrous wrong not contemplated by its framers
If necessary, the Constitution COULD be amended to specifically deal with a fraudulent presidency.
Ok, flame away.
