The problem with the electoral college vote, and I have also written that it is actually determined by the electors themselves, is that it is only an issue with Hillary if Hillary wins the majority of electors in the election itself.
If she does, I find it hard to believe that she will willingly release them to vote for someone other than herself who will have just won an election.
Additionally, I agree with LS that this kind of situation will so depress/change the democrat turnout that it’s unlikely a democrat would win.
My real concern is some obscure clause in the constitution or some law that I might be missing regarding the president calling for new elections in the event of disruption of this election.
Is there any such thing that anyone knows of?
Also, read this very closely and imagine how a legal beagle could distort it:
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.”
I do not see it saying that a person cannot HOLD the office of president more than twice. It says they cannot be elected to that office more than twice.
Obama getting a third term would be such an open violation of the Constitution that it would not stand. Even Obama knows that.
“INTERESTING” maybe they should get an “intern” to work on this”
