I’m convinced that, in order to do so, Trump will hand off the presidency to a Military Tribunal, as a result of what has now emerged. When the Tribunals are over, they will hand the presidency back to Trump, as we all know he was the rightful, truthful winner.

That post of yours has been rattling around my brain all morning.

Lets work backwards.

There are certain things outside the Constitution. As long as the Constitution is in effect, nationwide martial law and military tribunals are a legal impossibility. Therefore, for them to occur the Constitution must be in a state of suspension.

What could cause suspension of the Constitution? Proven infiltration of key positions by China and other hostile actors, triggering a state of war.

Once the Constitution is suspended, Trump would have no official status except as military dictator, a role he would not relish. The role of military rulership would be handed off to a triumvirate of Army, Navy and Air Force general officers. They would run the show, run military tribunals for offenses against the nation and run a general purge of traitors.

However, simply handing the presidency to Trump afterward would also be outside the Constitution. That would require an election. Do-over elections are a rarity under the Constitution, and a presidential do-over would be totally outside it. So how does it get done?

With the Constitution suspended, the military would run a nationwide do-over election under its own rules, to include proof of identity, residency and citizenship. This would also include a do-over for the past decade or more, to include all federal, state, county and local positions, and even ballot questions that may have been fraudulently decided. Trump would not return to office until he won this do-over election, which he certainly would.

The length of military rule would also be a question, in that certain parts of the country would rebel against it even under a state of war. (Research the behavior of the New England states during the War of 1812.) We might be under military government until well into next year.

You got my brain juices flowing.

Very good analysis.

I have only one question:

Considering your basic premise As long as the Constitution is in effect...

Have you specific examples of portions of the Constitution that are still in effect or have been at any time over the past month or so?

(I could argue that it hasn't been in effect since the Covid-19 ploy got dropped on us, but no point in starting two fights at the same time.)

...and even ballot questions that may have been fraudulently decided.

To me this is as important as the fraud of elected officials. So much bad policy has been "voted in by the people" and in many cases are amendments to state constitutions, nearly impossible to reverse.

Yeah, now the Northeast couldn't rebel their way out of a wet paper bag.
