Let’s say for the sake of argument that it can be proven that the current federal government, and the incoming federal government, are both invalid by way of fraud. Does that vitiate the contract that is the Constitution to the point where it can be set aside to right the wrong? What is our fallback? The Articles of Confederation?

I realize that I’m starting to sound like Q because I’m making an argument with a bunch of questions. But if the federal government can be proven invalid, that would mean that all sovereignty would revert to the several states, with the military holding things together on a temporary basis. That is precisely what the lawyers at the NSC told Kennedy in 1961 when he asked what would happen if the Soviets successfully decapitated the federal government with a surprise nuclear attack. In this case it would be fraud that causes the decapitation.

The anniversary of the Articles of Confederation strikes me as not being a total coincidence.
