How do you say this is “Bull Sh*t” in a language the author understands?
I agree.
Could Obama appoint himself President-For-Life?
Who is going to stop him if he does?
Canceling the election - well they can find a justifiable pretext for it.
We’ve been fortunate enough to be democracy for much of our history.
But if Trump needs to be stopped at any cost, say good-bye to democracy.

***********************************************************
Who has stopped him in 7 1/2 years....They are 99% all in it together. November is going to be epic.
> Who is going to stop him if he does?
I’ve been asking this question for 8 years straight and no one has given me any answer at all, never mind a convincing one.
Alcoa Aluminum (AA) is trading at $9.78.
I am buying 100 shares, just in case.
The law requires a president to be picked in January, even if by the House. Even if we get an interim president Paul Ryan (current speaker of the House) we will be rid of Obama.

But you didn’t learn to read the Constitution, I suppose. The part about WHO appoints electors, I mean.
There is no requirement to have a “Presidential election”. In fact, such a thing is not even mentioned once.
i dont know what to think yeah or nay but I am bookmarking this thread to come back to it at some point in time.
Simply say, 'Aw Geez, not this...'
Does the DEEP State go Back Street Boys or Boys to Men?
Who cares about the law?
If powerful people decide its an impediment to getting what they want, it can be dispensed with.
And there is no constitutional requirement for voters to pick the electors.
Under the Constitution, states can change the rule and it would be perfectly legal.
The absolute legal requirements and the customary expectations differ.
Popular election is, in the American system, at least a fig leaf, even if faked.
I believe more likely that Hillary would find a way to slip Kaine into her slot, and some other shmoe or shmoette will be nominated as the new veep. The pressure to at least LOOK like there is an election will be immense.
In order to do declare himself president for life Obama would have to have the support of the rank and file of the military not just the joint chiefs. There is no way he has that.
He doesn’t have control of the senate or the house. The GOP-e may not be very brave but they’d cut Obama off financially and have Obama arrested.
This article is complete BS
People do, as far as it is figured into popular expectation.
As I just mentioned before, people are expecting an election and my prognostication is that it will be forced to happen, even if there is a Democrat deus ex machina.
Or could we have an Obama who flees the country (to Kenya?) and declares himself continued president-in-exile.
“Or could we have an Obama who flees the country (to Kenya?) and declares himself continued president-in-exile.”
Even better! he’d not get SS there. But, is there a golf course in Kenya? If not maybe Ivanka could build him one since her father would be president
The article strains to be viable. But before we dismiss this off, consider what happened to Venezuela and several other Latin american countries as well as Turkey.
co-opt the Judiciary and fill it with your cronies, then proceed to nullify the legislature as they have no enforcement powers.
Anatchy, the collapse of the Republic and utter chaos.
Obama would be President over......nothing.
Too many guns in the hands of good people for this to succeed.
