Liberal Supreme Court Justice In Waiting Who Never Was Laurence Tribe gave away the ultimate Democrat election game plan to Joy Reid on MSNBC on July 31. As he explains, via massive use of mail-in ballots which, as we have already seen, cause chaos, confusion, and delay, the electoral college could be unable to choose a clear winner of the election. If no winner is determined by this January 20 then, according to Tribe, Nancy Pelosi would become president...if the Democrats retain control of the House.
PING!
I am old, but I will be out in the streets before that disgusting hag will be president.
don’t forget the mantra, Trump isn’t leaving, even though he didn’t win!
Yep.
This is it.
This is the plan.
And why would it be that the Electoral College would be unable to elect a President?
If voting is inconclusive or does not occur at all, most State Legislatures will appoint their Electors and if >269 Electors cast their ballots for a candidate, that person will become President at noon on January 20, 2021.
There are no circumstances where it would be Nancy Pelosi.
I agree. But the problem is most conservatives always let the protesting, rioting and squeaky wheel stuff up to unemployed young anarchist leftists. Conservative retirees and other conservatives need to be out there too protesting as they were in Wisconsin. We generally have a state of mind that abhors making waves and doing that kind of stuff.
I’ll take “How To Kick Off a Civil War” for $100, Alex!
So if Republicans win the House, Jim Jordan can be President, eh?
If the election hasn’t been called by January 20th wouldn’t that mean that the House of Representatives hasn’t been elected either?
My same thought
Lord, help us. That moonbat doesn’t need to be anywhere near the Oval Office.
That would be a super ticket to run against. Trump would have a field day. Sleepy Joe and Crazy Nancy.
I wouldn’t hire Nancy pelosi to feed my fish.
The Electoral College meets in December. If no candidate for President gets 270 or more electoral votes, then the following happens:
1. Under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, the House of Representatives selects the President.
2. Under the 12th Amendment, the President MUST be a candidate who has received at least one electoral vote, and is one of the top three candidates who received electoral votes.
3. Here's the kicker, folks ... The House election process is not a straight vote for the President. The vote is taken by state, and each of the 50 House delegations has one vote. Even though the Democrats control the House of Representatives right now, I believe there are 26 states with a Republican majority in their House delegations -- along with one or two states with evenly split Republican-Democrat House delegations.
So Nancy Pelosi can't be become President under any circumstances in this scenario ... unless she runs as a candidate and somehow manages to win at least one state in the November general election.
Folks on other social media are talking about implementing the big bang theory.
I will gladly join you. In fact, if there is not enough certified election returns by the day set, how would she be president anyway. The house election would not be over either.
The democrap party should be dissolved and their leaders sent to gitmo.
I WOULD!
SHE’S AT IT AGAIN——here’s her carefully planned impeachment flopola:
<><> over two years of researching her options (using our tax dollars),
<>< > numerous sub rosa conferences with the rabid Left,
<><> writing the numerous scripts for each player,
<><> coordinating and assigning roles to the various Trump haters,
<><> rehearsing the actors 24/7,
<><> media tour to “smilingly deny deny deny” impeachment was afoot,
<><> keeping Schiff and Nadler away from each other’s throats,
<><> focus-grouping every nuance for maximum impact,
<><> getting the Dem fund-raising apparatus in place,
<><> designing and ordering her signed impeachment pens,
<><> sap-happily signing impeachment articles
<><> refusing to send articles to the Senate.
This scenario would work this way...the EC fails (for various reasons) to reach 270.
Pelosi’s term as House Speaker ends on 4 January. A new House Speaker would then be elected by the incoming new members. Based on my hunch....a majority of Republicans would be in this group. The Republicans would meet that week and select their Speaker.
Added to this tension, probably 10 to 20 House elections in the various states will not be settled and delayed for a minimum of one to three months...meaning some may not get to DC until Feb.
The back-up method here is that the House would vote....state-by-state for the Presidency. If you have 9 Representatives, with five GOP....then that state would be a Trump state. If you had four Representatives and it was split 2 and 2....would be a zero sum state.
First count with 26 votes....that ends the President’s race.
For VP, the Senate votes....one man, one vote.
The only way that this gets more messed up is that forty-odd races are challenged and incoming Republicans are not appointed by their state to their position.
Pelosi could watch all of this occurring up until 3 Jan, but have no real hand in changing the outcome.
