Not to argue, but if a thief takes something that doesn’t belong to him and it’s discovered does he get to keep it?

I realize nothing is in the constitution on this but neither is a stolen election. One would think the courts would settle this...then again they too are compromised in many cases.

I've had this 'not an argument' on several different threads in the past week already, and I'm not really in the mood to rehash all of this again. But....

The difference between your thief taking something, and the President of the United States is the Constitution. The Constitution outlines how the President is chosen, and the only ways to remove him from office.

The common thief is subject to various state and federal laws that are not superseded by explicit language in the United States Constitution.

The Constitution does not give the Courts a role in removing a President from office, save for the Chief Justice presiding over a Senate trial following impeachment by the House. So the Courts are powerless under the Constitution to order a President removed from office and another person installed as President, no matter what the circumstances.
