Ok, decertify the election.

But at the Federal level there are no do-overs. There is nothing in federal law that can overturn the constitutional process.

Of course, reasonable people would resign…but I don’t see that happening. Harris first, then Biden appoints Trump. Then Biden immediately resigns. It would take some time to change the cabinet.

But that is a pipe dream.

I think there is a more specific, but interesting, point to make.

Ok, decertify the election. But at the Federal level there are no do-overs. There is nothing in federal law that can overturn the constitutional process.

At the federal *executive* level, the Electoral College voted and Congress accepted the vote. There are no do-overs for the election of the President.

At the Senate level, it's not so straight-forward. One the one hand, the Constitution says that each chamber is the judge of its election results. If Georgia were to decertify its election based on incontrovertible proof of forged ballots, they can try to enforce that decertification by declaring their Senate seats vacant. On the other hand, Chuck Schumer may refuse to accept the decertification and say that the Georgia Democrats stay in the Senate regardless of losing their elections by stating that the Senate accepts the Georgia election results, even if Georgia itself does not.

Harris first, then Biden appoints Trump. Then Biden immediately resigns.

Biden appointing Trump to the VP spot does not make him VP. He would still have to receive a majority vote from the House and the Senate, and neither Pelosi nor Schumer would let that happen.
