THE COMING "CONTINGENT" ELECTION AND PELOSI PRESIDENCY

VANITY | 8/5/2020 | windhover

[windhover]

Could Nancy Pelosi become our next President on January 20. Impossible? Not according to Article Two, Sec.1, Clause 3 as modified by the 12th Amendment of the Constitution.

[windhover]

The 12th Amendment provides for a "Contingent" election. After I describe this provision you will see, as I discovered, how the democrats are setting us up for a Mail-in ballot fraud now sweeping through Blue States, and a massive attack on our Constitution.

We know that January 20th is a "drop dead", last ditch date for the President to leave office and for the President-Elect to move into the White House. This is set in stone by the Constitution,and cannot be delayed without a Constitutional Amendment.

We also know that Electors cannot be elected by their States in December until the election has been Certified. The results of these elections must be certified and announced by the U.S. House of Representatives on January 6th after the 538 State Electors have announced their Presidential preference. Most states have chosen their Electors on a winner take all basis for the Presidential preference.

If no Presidential candidate receives the required 270 votes the election is determined by a "Contingency" procedure established by the 12th Amendment. The incoming newly elected Congress then meets to choose one of the top three electoral vote winners as President of the United States. The Senate chooses the Vice-President the same way.

Now here is what, I suspect, most of us didn't know. This process was modified by the 20th Amendment in 1933 that reduces the length of the Lame Duck Congress; AND INSTEAD, THE INCOMING NEWLY ELECTED CONGRESS/SENATE CONDUCTS THE CONTINGENT ELECTIONS! If that Congress has not chosen a President by January 20 then the Vice-President Elect!, becomes acting President.

But we haven't forgotten Nancy Pelosi. Sec.3 of the 20th Amendment also specifies that IF neither a President or Vice-President is elected IN TIME for the January 20th Inauguration, then the Speaker of the House becomes acting President until the incoming House selects a President or the Senate selects a Vice-President. This is according to the Presidential Succession Act of 1947. They must continue voting until they do.

Is this an invitation to deceit, manipulation and fraud?Let us count the ways.

First, Mail-In Balloting, of course, is ripe for fraud, dumping, shredding, delaying, counterfeiting you can fill-in the rest. I live in a conservative area of a very Blue State that has voted by mail for many years. The heavily populated Liberal/Marxist area of our State has been gaming this effectively for a long time.

Second, their assertions that there is no difference between Absentee Ballots and Mail-in Ballots is, of course, a lie. Absentee Ballots must be requested, the voter Identified as a legal resident. Upon return it is logged in, dated, and certified. If you want to check that your ballot has been received by your Elections Office you can. With Mail-in balloting none of these safeguards are in place and you will never know if it was counted or disappeared into a democrat dark hole somewhere. Are the D's capable of discovering or losing ballots in a swamp? Just ask Pam Bondi, former Attorney General of Florida, about the 2000 Presidential election.

If Blue State Dems cant beat Trump straight-up they can take forever to count the ballots(two months and counting for the special Congressional election in New York by Mail-In ballot); and delay or not certify State Electors in time for Congressional certification by the mandatory January 6th date.

This will begin the wheels turning for a Contingent Election; a process that can be shamelessly manipulated if democrats retain a majority in the new Congress that will conduct it.

Mail-In Ballots will give these people an unrivaled opportunity to scam both the Electoral system and the Constitution. Is there any doubt they would try.

We need to call them out and encourage our President to make clear he will not accept a Corrupted Mail-In Ballot system crafted to produce a dystopian Marxist remnant of this Land we love, honor, and make our homes.

They also need to know and feel in their bones that we will not accept it either.

i’m not reading all that because i won’t entertain it.

let’s make sure Trump wins decisively

Even with the cheating.

[rktman]

Only if she's speaker at the time. Could be 💩 4brains.

[GnuThere]

The Left has been fantasizing about it for a while.

[eclectic]

Between her and Biden, it is a competition who goes full dementia first.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Trump will get over 270.

[SaveFerris]

[PELOSI PRESIDENCY]

Hey don’t scare me like that.

That could cause the Botox to crack on Nancy’s face.

[Brilliant]

I think that if Pelosi is elected by the House then it will signal the end of the American experiment with democracy. The constitution might provide that procedure but no one will respect the result.

[usconservative]

Imma say it right now: any chance that Piglosi gets anywhere NEAR the Oval Office and there WILL be a civil war in this country. It will NOT however be “civil” ... it’ll be anything but and the other side is in for one hell of a fight that they cannot and will not win.

[SaveFerris]

I’m guessing in the neighborhood of 325-340.

Democrats will be bused everywhere, of course.

People have seen the Democrat thugs rioting, committing arson and looting. So Soros will be renting a lot of buses.

[jmaroneps37]

Safe Harbor law
35 days to wrap up counts. Do you think America will say “Okay keep counting we’ll wait?”Do you think the Demorats can really get Pelosi as president just by sitting and refusing to count votes untill the law says that she is the next president?” Oh but the Constitution says... And that’s that? The USDC disregarded 1st Amendment already

[Another Kansan]

The answer to your question is settled by 3 USC 19(a)(1). “Failure to qualify” regulates electoral chaos over who won. If we don’t know who won the electoral college, certified by congress, then Nancy Pelosi is Acting President until the mess is sorted out.

3 U.S.C. §19. Vacancy in offices of both President and Vice President; officers eligible to act
(a)(1) If, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability, or failure to qualify, there is neither a President nor Vice President to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, upon his resignation as Speaker and as Representative in Congress, act as President.

[SmokingJoe]

Didn't you post this same fantasy land sh*t here about Pelosi becoming president coupla days ago?
Pelosi will NOT become president.
And you can take it to the bank.

Nanzi and the Democaps need professional treatment for that malignant enlarged memory hole they're afflicted with.

WATTA MOTLEY CREW--Pelosi, Schiff, woebegotten impeachment managers (remember them?)
townhall.com ^ | February 1, 2020 | Congressman Andy Biggs / FR Posted by Kaslin

EDITED It appears that self-aggrandizement was a dominant factor in the Democrats foolhardy impeachment of Trump after all. Chairman Nadler could not have been happy when Speaker Pelosi entrusted the impeachment charade to the mendacious Adam Schiff, a position normally entrusted to Judiciary Committee Chairman.

Heck, 50,000 people died from the virus b/c Schiff did not get to make the final impeachment statement "guaranteed to ditch Trump."

Seeing Schiff and Nadler vie for the mic was a moment of inadvertently-produced levity. But it also indicated a Pander Act-----to attain a measure of notoriety within the Leftist base now controlling the Democrat Party.

Who was Pelosi rooting for? Schiff or Nadler? She's never said.....cackle.

The mic fight also demonstrates the continued delusion of the House managers ---- looking like refugees from a flopola Democrat pep rally-----who believe that if they talk everyone to death, using boring worn-out soliloquies, they would convince enough senators to vote to expand the Senate trial. Then they would get to drag this charade out even longer.

Never happened. Nanzi, where did you go wrong (sob)?

Hard to believe, House impeachment managers, actually believe that mouthing mistruths often enough, (sometimes loud, sometimes soft, sometimes with a smile, sometimes with a snarl), these mistruths magically become true. Or at least, accepted as truth by some of their braindead followers.

The objective truth, ultimately wins out. And----souvenir pens or no souvenir pens----the truth is that there simply was no there-there. There never had been.

Look at 'em pictured above......the impeachment squad did not ever want Donald J. Trump to be president. They want him off of the 2020 ballot. They are willing to do, say, and ultimately, believe anything, no matter how implausible.

They even put their faith in the doddering Counsel Robert Mueller and his gang of biased, anti-Trump prosecutors who spent years, and millions of taxpayer dollars, looking for dirt on the president.

Now we hear that extending the investigation was bait---setup as an "obstruction-of-justice trap" for Trump--- should he move to curtail the nonsense.

They were disappointed when even muttering Mueller had to acknowledge that there was no criminal conspiracy between the Russians and the Trump campaign.

Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, and their acolytes, however, believe that there is concrete evidence of a conspiracy, and that one day they may be able to produce it. Except they will never succeed for the simple reason that there was no coordination, no cooperation, no collusion, and no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians.

Instead of dreamily chasing after their socialist utopia, this bunch forced the entire nation into their nightmarish pursuit of revenge and disruption.

Their hidden agenda all along, after all, was to undo the 2016 election. They want to turn back time.

And, with the majority of senators seeing the best that the Democrat House managers could present, the senators have rejected an extension of this malevolent marathon of vituperation toward the president.

The woebegotten House managers have been passionate about their work. And as sincere about their motives to “save the country” as a Don Lemon apology.

From mid-summer 2016 and over the past three years, the deep state, Leftist media, and radical Democrats have done nothing to help this nation. Instead, they have relentlessly attacked this president, his family, his friends and business associates, his supporters, and his voters.

While the president has been improving the judiciary, the economy, our military, and American prestige at home and abroad, the vociferous malcontents in the Democratic Party have tried to undermine his efforts and the will of the American people.

[Pox]

That is a fact.

[fhayek]

We go through this every four years. If the election is thrown to the house, it is not a majority of members of the House, it is a majority of state delegations in the house. Every state gets ONE vote. Trump would need to win 26 states. He wins that one without a sweat. The Democrats may try stuff, but throwing it to the House is not one of them.

[rktman]

See post 3.

[outofsalt]

The HOR votes BUT NOT AS INDIVIDUALS. Each state delegation gets one vote. More Republican states than library states. We Win!

[Mariner]

What makes you think the new congress can be certified if POTUS can’t be certified?

Also, once the counting is complete, certification will occur and the elected POTUS will take office.

[JBW1949]

Unless President Trump is re-elected decisively, it will be interesting to see what happens and how conservative/republicans handle what the left is sure to try...
