Petition to remove Donald Trump as President is the most popular in history

New Delhi: A petition urging the Electoral College to reject Donald Trump as the next President of the United States has become the most popular in the history of Change.org, a site that mobilizes support for petitions through e-signatures.

Over 4.6 million people have signed the petition titled "Make Hillary Clinton President", which calls on the Electoral College to elect the Democratic presidential candidate over Trump when it officially votes on December 19.

The petition argues that since Clinton won the popular vote in the November 8 election by a margin of 2 million ballots, she should be the President. It also dismisses Trump as unfit to be the next US Commander in Chief.

"Mr Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic," the petition states.

Seen as a last hope for Clinton supporters, the petition has been endorsed by a number of celebrities.

If you feel scared about the current state of American politics and Whitehouse sign this petition: https://t.co/2K88hLD8hn

Filed by social activist Daniel Brezenoff, the petition is an unconventional way of altering the result of a US election. But then again, nothing about the 2016 presidential race has been conventional.

"This petition is unprecedented, but Donald Trump is an unprecedented danger to the Constitution. He is the kind of president our Founding Fathers warned us about," Brezenoff wrote in his appeal.

The petition has garnered over two million more votes than the next largest campaign on the site, which called for an end to an infamous dog meat festival in China.

On November 8, Trump swept the Electoral College with 306 electoral votes to Clinton's 232. But the petition puts forward that electors in 14 states can change their minds and vote for Clinton without facing any legal penalty.

The Electoral College system requires that representatives of each state cast ballots to decide who will actually become the new President. Members of the college are supposed to vote for whoever won their state, but could theoretically change their mind.

They’re afraid that they’ll lose all of the customer service-type jobs that American companies are fobbing off on them.

Suck it up, buttercups. Trump will be the 45th President, whether you like it or not.

We should do a petition to remove liberals from this country. It needs to be real, we really need to send them elsewhere. They seem quite concerned with third world countries all over the map- Cuba, the countries in the ME- so we could send them as refugees from Trump.

"....Make Hillary Clinton President...."

Unfortunately for these misinformed folks, we don't "make" people president in this country. We ELECT them. And Trump won that election.

No amount of "making", hoping, wishing, woulda', coulda' or shoulda' will change that fact.

Again with the 'popularity' angle.

Yardage doesn't win football games. Only scoring does. Trump scored the most points and won the game.
