Uh, that would NOT be a good plan. But, who would put anything out of the realm of possibility with this clown? Declaring a "national emergency" would be easy enough for him to attempt and it would put the govt in control of EVERYTHING. Implementing it would be a whole 'nother story. As far as impeachment, well that's NEVER been an option cause it would racis'.

The states hold the election, not the Feds. Open revolt would ensue: DC is easily accessible and is not very big.

If this little piece of sh!t were to try that the Founders left us a very specific remedy for just such a situation. It’s called The Second Amendment

Who will stop him? The President of the Reorganized United States, Donald Trump.

Yawn.

There are 50 state elections, and none of them are under the authority of the Executive Branch. Neither is the Electoral College and Congress, who complete the process.

This is an interesting situation...I have wondered about it quite a bit lately...

We have no one in the Supreme Court that would stop him, you know RINO RYAN and Turtle face wouldn’t do anything, the V.P. wouldn’t...neither of the candidates could...

I think our only hope would be the Military would ‘man up’, take off their ‘pink laced panties’ and show their balls and back bones and take over the Country for the people, allow the elections to continue until we vote in a Candidate for POTUS...or the American People could take control and the majority of that would be for Trump, so I don’t know, just MHO....

Although this is a national election the mechanisms for conducting it are entirely under the control of the states. Republican run states would ignore such an order. Democratically run states would ignore it because it would disenfranchise their voters and the downstream impact of that might damage them much more than losing a presidential election.

The Framers were really smart in the way they designed the government. However, they never in their wildest nightmares envisioned a president who was anti-American. They probably thought the voters were too smart to ever elect such a man. The basic design of the system they created, however, is sound and will function as intended.

The US military has about 2.5 million in uniform, plus federal police numbers maybe 20,000.

There are 18,000,000 registered deer hunters. This mumber does not include collectors, prepers, or TEA PARTY people.

I say the odds are in our favor.

So, no, Obama isn’t crazy.

Good question. The answer is easy. The U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, the jerks living in this country these days don’t have the courage to demand that the government follows the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They prefer to leave enforcement of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights up to the very people who are violating those documents. The U.S. Government.

A citizenry that would allow such a thing is a citizenry that would richly deserve everything that followed.

I don’t think Obama wants to president anymore. He has his sights set on bigger things.....the Supreme Court.

Okay, so the states elect say Trump and 0bozo refuses to step down; how will he be removed from office? Maybe the SS would since they then would be required to protect the president elect?

When a new president is elected, the old president no longer has the power of the Chief Executive. In other words, he is no longer Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. It would not even require a "mutiny" to refuse his orders. In fact, it would be mutiny if they DID.

So any concern about the military backing up odingus is misplaced.

Not to mention, this lame excuse for a president hasn't exactly endeared himself to the military hierarchy, and certainly not to the ranks.

It would bring a truly Massive Lawsuit that would most likely go to the Supreme Court!

Impeachment only works if there are enough votes in the Senate for Removal and only if the Vice President is not even worse.

Oh please. Never gonna happen, period. But to address the hypothetical, who would stop him? The Well Regulated Militia would stop him, that’s who.

Ludicrous. Obama cannot cancel the presidential election. Elections are the province ONLY of the individual states.

0bamao will not cancel any elections. That is a ridiculous thought. 0bamao is not that stupid.

The president is chosen by the Electoral College, whose members are chosen by 50 State Legislatures under rules they have exclusive authority over (Congress gave itself 3 electoral votes in 1960).

There is no “presidential election” to cancel, not in the sense you mean it.
