I am not a historian but I think I am right that this was the worst hand over of power after the citizens decided ever in America history, the peaceful handover of power based upon the will of the citizens being something that we were once very proud of....a standard of civility that is often not met by others and in history.

What the hell do you think I'm talking about? Pay attention.

Under Article V of the Constitution, there are two ways to propose and ratify amendments to the Constitution. To propose amendments, two-thirds of both houses of Congress can vote to propose an amendment, or two-thirds of the state legislatures can ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments. To ratify amendments, three-fourths of the state legislatures must approve them, or ratifying conventions in three-fourths of the states must approve them.

Think a little It will not hurt your head. Jan.20th, we have no president or VP if the election does not happen. Then the speaker takes the presidency until an election happens and determines a president.

Exactly. Congress has NO authority to change the Constitution. Only the States do. All Congress can do is propose them.

Why do you think the election will not happen?

Have you read the thread that you responding to? Try it
I think it will happen and Trump is setting up the cheating for mail-in by talking over the post office.
However if Trump is stupid enough to delay the election, he will get booted out instead of held over,

We will have chosen a president by then.

So sorry, oh Superior Thread Moderator. It won't happen again!

Just a slight sleep disorder, but yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for asking.

Yes. What makes you think the election will not happen?

Yet you argue like it won't.

The post office is not a secure courier for ballots. Trump is making good arguments.

He can't delay the election. He IS concerned the election will be delayed, due them being improperly done.

A State is responsible for carrying the election of the electoral college according to the constitution of that State. If it fails to do so, that State essentially abstains, and will not be sending anyone to the electoral college. The electoral college will meet, and vote on who is to be President and Vice President. The last time a State abstained in this way was Florida, which could not complete the election in a timely manner, due to the 'hanging chads' issues and lawsuits.

The election of the Electoral College does not necessarily even require a popular election. The legislature of that State could simply designate them by vote...the way it used to be done in many States. All States currently use a popular vote to determine their Electoral College members.

Congress determines the timing of the elections, and the timing for the Electoral College to vote. Only Congress.

See Article II as amended by the 17th and 25th amendments of the Constitution of the United States.

No, the Electoral College will have chosen a President by then. The people do not choose the President. He is not elected by popular vote.

1800 was pretty bad. 2000 was pretty bad. But yes, none of them straight-up tried to overthrow the government to pout and tantrum over losing an election. That record-breaking scumbag behavior belongs solely to Obama and Hillary.

Bravo, Democrats. Bravo.
