[Dr. Franklin]

The Houses of Congress by the Article I, Sec. 5 of the U.S. Constitution are the judge of election of their respective members. (But the constitution makes no mention of Congress being the judge of the election of presidential electors.) A fraudulently elected Congressional pretender would likely be unmasked first by some action at the state level. This would be either a state official decertifying the election, a state judge making such a determination through a writ of quo warranto, (or a similar legal action even if not entitled as such), or a resolution of the state legislature. Once that is done, it would trigger the appropriate House of Congress to revoke recognition of that member. That would be followed by either the certification and recognition of the actual winner, or if that is impossible to determine, the appointment of an interim senator by the state governor.

Once that is done, that senator could and should make the argument in Congress that the the Jan. 6-7th certification process was illegal, or that state's AG could make a similar argument at SCOTUS through quo warranto. With the obvious election fraud in AZ, GA, and MI, more than one senate seat could be reversed and start this process. Since flipping one senate seat would change control of the U.S. Senate, that should be a focus as a first step in addressing the fraudulent 2020 election returns.

Who do you have in mind ?

Pence could have listened and sent it back to the state legislature to look into fraud for 10 days. They had leaders from the states their on the 6th asking.

Nope. President Bought & Paid For was ‘certified’ due the indifference of the judicial branch. If we do not get our election process under control before November 2022, you may never see another Republican president or Republican majority in either house.
Hell, with the dissatisfaction with the Vichy Republicans, by conservatives like me, you may never see another Republican president period.

I can only come up with two alternatives regarding the stolen US Senate seats in this election:

1) The GOPe involved were too stupid to realize that the Democrats would do this while they stole Trump’s presidency.

2) The seats were “payment” that the GOPe made to the Democrats for getting rid of Trump.

Neither make our guys look very smart, nor do they bode well for fixing the US Senate.

It’s fun to speculate.

This would be either a state official decertifying the election, a state judge making such a determination through a writ of quo warranto, (or a similar legal action even if not entitled as such), or a resolution of the state legislature.

Nothing in the Constitution allows states to recall U.S. Senators or Congressmen. You can try your Writ of Quo Warranto but I honestly don't think it works like you think it works.

[Degaston]

This whole “Restore Trump” idea is probably a Trojan Horse idea being floated around to try to make Conservatives look like fools. Let’s be clear that Trump has zero chance of becoming President until Jan 20, 2025. Our Founding Fathers were awesome to give is the Electoral College as a means to ensure that the chaos we often see happen in other political contests (such as State Governor) doesn’t happen with the Presidency. I hope that FR participants still stand by the Constitution, especially now as many powerful people work to bend it so badly. What we need to do is focus our efforts on ensuring that Elections have integrity and the National Debt stops growing & gets reduced.

Pipe dream.

The best you could do was question the officer’s legitimacy, and wound him politically.

Election fraud has been going on for years. There are no new resolutions.

I believe that the courts are reluctant to step in. Thus, quo warranto is not likely to be in play UNTIL a legislature decertifies their state’s election.

Just my opinion.

We are now in uncharted waters.

[vigilante2]

Start the decertification process

[Flying Circus]

Who in the world thinks that a Democrat controlled House or Senate is going to revoke recognition of a member allied to them? It won’t happen no matter how strongly you can prove the seat was awarded fraudulently. Outside of the legislative body ejecting them there is no legal mechanism or provision for removing someone from the legislature before the end of their term.

I absolutely believe that these audits are necessary, should go forward and will prove fraud occurred. But to think that a single Democrat will be unseated before the 2022 elections because of it is incredibly stupid, naïve and delusional. The best outcome we can get is strengthening the election laws and enforcement and removing corrupt election officials so we can have cleaner elections going forward.

[DiogenesLamp]

Restoring Trump may start with decertifying one "elected" 2020 U.S. Senator

I appreciate your efforts on this topic.

[Jim Noble]

Taking your point seriously for a minute - suppose this Congress were to enter into joint session and did in fact

1) Agree to reopen the matter of the electoral votes; and
2) Received objections from a House Member and a US Senator; and therefore
3) Undertook to rule on the objections

How long would it take this Congress (in seconds, or minutes if you prefer) to dismiss the objections and recertify Biden and Harris?

.the “cure” cannot be managed from the base of government. A corrupted election essentially means the country is not governed.

We the People create the government by means of our votes through the elections process. When both the elections process is corrupted, as well as the voting process, ONLY WE THE PEOPLE can correct that. There IS NO government entity that can possibly do so
