No, and it will not happen.

The Constitution defines what to do when elections go haywire. Those running for office don't get to rewrite the Constitution and the law after the fact to decide who wins. This is a Republic, for as long as we can keep it that way, not a feudal society.

1. There is absolutely no provision whatsoever in the Constitution for an “emergency run-off election” of any sort.

2. There is, however, a provision for either state legislatures to decide who are going to be their respective Electors and, if insufficient EVs are available to win a majority for any candidate, there is a provision for the top 3 (2 in this election) earners of EVs to be put up in a state-by-state election in the House of Representatives.

3. Our Republic has survived confusing and contentious elections 3 separate times, the last in 1876 in which the election was decided in the House of Representatives, and it will survive another such election.

4. What our Republic cannot survive are:

a) Remedies that are made up on the spot, to solve a problem for which there ARE remedies; and

b) Elections in which the voting public has no confidence because of the ease with which fraud and/or mistakes can occur.

The solution for 4a is simple: rely upon the Constitution (and, if one finds it insufficient, amend it later according to the rules specified within it), and stop making stuff up on the spot because it sounds like a good compromise. The solution for 4b is not so easy, not so long as one party seeks to maintain the current system because of the ease with which it can game that system to enhance it’s own power. Otherwise, it would be easy to institute a system that had multiple levels of safeguards for all federal elections, and which would provide for a quick and open verification of ballots that had been legally cast (and to find and trace those which had not been legally cast).

As an aside, you will find very few Trump voters who would be satisfied with dumping Trump and replacing him with Pence - not when EVERYONE knows that Trump actually won, and deserves to have won because he did a great job during his first term (with multiple impediments from political opponents, including Republicans). So, while I can admire you for trying to come up with a solution, it is just not workable from numerous standpoints.

Uhh, no.

Trump won the election.

He is the next President.

The Democrats pulled every trick in their extensive repertoire to get rid of him with the help of the most unsavory characters in the world at present.

If some people feel that is justification for resort to arms and we decide to capitulate on that basis, we TRULY have no longer ANY connection to our forebears abd have lost any right to exist as a free people.

Craven, idiotic idea.

So let me get this straight:

You want Trump to yield to Pence (giving the Democrats what they want).

And have Joe Biden yield to Harris (giving the Democrats what they want).

You, sir, are a terrible negotiator. :-)

does the democratic leadership have the informed consent of the democratic voting public to cheat on their behalf?

i think that is the issue that rudy and trump might be at this point trying to place in front of the democratic voting public.

out of 100 people, how many people are honest?

is the ratio different for republicans and democrats?

if it is not different, and greater than say 50%, then how many people would be ok with passively allowing someone to cheat on their behalf, only requiring their silent non-objection?

Pres Trump fights on. Alone or with his voters. He does not quit for the convenience of the commie dem party and the No Trumper republicans. We are with him whatever he decides to do. Pres Trump is a man of honor and does not take his oath as President lightly. He won this election with hard work and deserves to continue his, and our, battle for preservation of this Republic.He has my gratitude for all that he has done for all Americans. God bless him and his family and keep them all safe.

Welp, Harris isn’t a top tier unless her inability to obtain a single delegate in her independent run for office (primary) counts as success.

President Trump won in a landslide so resigning would disregard the interests of about 3 of every 4 voters.

Presidentail resignation would concede all future elections to China, because Harris/Biden etc. are Chinese puppets and President Trump needs the assets of the US to halt corrupt elections..
So resigning would consign all future elections to the highest bidder and that’s China.

Americans don’t want to be enslaved or killed by the PRC. So, your proposal has nothing in it’s favor and eveything against it.
