Constitutional Dilemma for the Left: What happens if the 2020 Election is overturned?
MercyFlush (vanity) ^ | 23 June 2021 | MercyFlush

The undoing of the 2020 Presidential Election would appear to be gathering momentum with more and more states commencing audits of the ballots and counting methods. With these audits progressing a number of commentators on the left are starting to be concerned that President Trump may well end up sworn into office sometime before the next election.

For argument's sake let's consider that President Trump is inaugurated after January 20, 2023.

According to the 22nd Amendment if there are less than two years left in President Trump's term of office then he could run for re-election in 2024 and end up serving as much as ten years in the Oval Office.

The 22nd Amendment says the President can't be elected more than twice but that's assuming he wasn't cheated of his full term in office. Is it at all reasonable to undo the injustice of the 2020 election only to inflict a new injustice by cheating President Trump of his full term in office?

Would the 22nd Amendment be used to cheat President Trump of the time that Pedo Joe stole from him?

Would the Republicans have the steel to insist that President Trump's second term of office starts on the day of his inauguration and that he's entitled to four full years as President?

Six months ago I would have never imagined the prospect of the 2020 Election being undone yet here we are and the possibility becomes greater every day.

Thus the question.

We are indeed in unchartered territory and it's a good time to start thinking about what we're looking at if President Trump is indeed inaugurated before January 20, 2025.

This nonsense needs to stop. There is no fathomable way this can happen.

Nothing. It's not going to be overturned.

The Uniparty is not going to give up their Big Steal.

The drive to get Trump out was BIPARTISAN.

As long as the Assistant Democrats are there to assist the Democrats, they will.

The BEST we can hope for is for the swing states to tighten up their electoral processes.
And maybe a few arrests of elections officials and Secretaries of State.

Difficult to say what might happen. Our Republic is in uncharted territory. Also if true that the Chinese defector has the goods proving the Dems and CCP conspired and stole the election, then something will have to be done as it would prove treason on the Dems part and an act of ear on china’s part so again, something would have to be done.

Act of war, not act of ear.

On the one hand, yes the election was stolen by fraud. Secondly the evidence is very strong already that it was. With audits the evidence may become stronger. But no matter how strong the evidence I am very dubious about any direct remedy ever being applied. Democrats are very well practiced in asserting things that are obviously false. I am afraid the best remedy we are likely to get is at the ballot box. And of course we need to fight now to prevent more ballot theft and keep the pressure on to make the election honest. Exposing the fraud of 2020 will help defeat the Left in both ways. The more obvious their cheating the fewer votes they will get plus the harder it will be for them to get away with more cheating.

I’m sorry, but if Trump is somehow sworn into office prior to January 20th, 2025, it would be unconstitutional and I would not support it.

If you’re going to engage in such fantasies, you may as well make a complete psychotic break from reality.

For example, if you thought there was massive rioting (er... peaceful protests) in 2020, you wont have seen anything yet. The media will claim that it is not just a “constitutional crisis”, they will say repeatedly and vehemently that the 2020 is being stolen away from the people.

Also, you will never find enough judges with backbones in enough of the jurisdiction necessary to make this happen. IE: even if you get Arizona’s electoral college points switched (which is purely fantasy in itself), you’re never going to get going to get all of the other states that were stolen (GA, PA, WI, NV, MI, etc), and no judge is going to order audits in all those states either.

Please stop. That's not going to happen. It's a pipe dream.

We can expose the fraud and change election laws. Then take the House and Senate in the mid-terms. That is if y'all pull your heads out of the sand!

Trump 2024

More? The Dems already own the entire thing. And are not about to give up any part of it. HB1/SB1 was just a legal way of institutionalizing what they already own.

How would it be unconstitutional for Trump to be sworn in if it’s determined that he won the election?

Where in the Constitution is a duly elected official prohibited from being sworn in? I seem to have missed that part.
