Here’s a hypothetical question for you all:
Suppose it is proven, by a preponderance of the evidence, that Donald Trump “won” the November 2020 “presidential election”.
Then, suppose that Kamala Harris sues on the grounds that “no person shall be elected more than twice” to the office of President (Amendment XXII).
Will the Supreme Court declare Kamala Harris President?
Yeah — that.
He wasn’t sworn in. So he wasn’t president. It would be the equivalent of someone winning and walking away from it.
You already know the answer to that. The only election that mattered in 2020 was the Electoral College votes in the 50 states and D.C. in December 2020.

Apparently this very subject has been talked about by “Constitutional scholars” and the consensus is that since the Constitution doesn’t address this (probably because the founding fathers, as brilliant as they were, could never comprehended the level of corruption that we see from left), that once certified, the only way to remove the President and Vice President was via the impeachment process.

No, because as ‘someone’ here once said, the Constitutional Election is the one held by the Electoral College.
This “case” (which is actually not one) is Constitutional science fiction.
The “election” alleged to be fraudulent has no Constitutional existence. The 50 State Legislatures which appoint 535 Electors (and Congress, which appoints 3) have all adopted the custom of having people voting as the means by which the appointments are normally made, but this creates 51 elections, not one.
Those 51 elections occur at the direction of, and are subservient to, 50 legislatures and Congress. The States unwisely granted Congress 3 Electors by ratifying the XXIII Amendment in 1960, so Congress does have supervisory power OVER THOSE THREE, but not otherwise.
There is only one Presidential election in the Constitution, it takes place in December, there are 538 voters, and in December 2020 Biden got 306 of them and was elected President.
No State Legislature objected that its Electors were not the ones they had appointed. No State Legislature even convened to consider the matter. In the case of Pennsylvania, the Legislature fled to avoid considering the matter.
It has never been alleged that a single one of the 306 votes for Biden/Harris was a forgery, that the Electors who casted them were impersonating someone else, or that the Legislatures had secretly appointed other Electors.
There is zero space for an allegation of fraud in the Constitutional Presidential election of December 14, 2020.
As far as the 51 elections which occurred on November 3, 2020, they may very well have been rife with fraud, but since the appointment power of the 50 State Legislatures (535) and Congress (3) is plenary, that’s a problem for those legislatures to deal with should they choose to do so.
Although...let me add...there was a Senate election also in Georgia - and it was more than just one seat - the result was giving Schumer the control of the chamber. Much of that Biden agenda would either have not gone through at all, or been significantly slowed/reduced (the Dems still had the House). And certainly their fast pacing of Leftist judicial appointees would not have occurred. So even if just the Georgia election itself was tainted, the implications and its affect on the country has been significant.

We threw out presidential requirements with Obama. Your scenario is enjoyable as a mental exercise, certainly. We can both bet the democrats would scream to mother gaei if they thought it would work. But even so. The HORs would decide who the president is and the GOP has a majority so it would fall to Vance. And just as much vitriol would be directed to Vance as there is to PDJT. Vance 2028.
Good bench on the GOP. Trash on the democrats. But they cheat so stay frosty.
No, because there was a Coup d’état.
That’s funny, but the only thing that will happen (maybe) is, some election officials will be indicted for election law violations. That’s all the law allows.
But Raffensperger was in charge and he’s running for Governor and I think one of the main objectives here is to bring him down.
Payback is a bitch and that’s fine with me. No, not talking about Fanny.
Nothing will happen. Probably claim the statute of limitations has already run out. There will be a special place in hell for the people that implemented or allowed the cheat!
The only hope is that this will never be allowed to happen again.
No. Trump was not inaugurated and sworn in for those four years. He never served a single day of that term.

The problem with your theory is that the voters do not elect the president. The electoral college does. The electors are under no obligation to follow the results of the election in their states....as crazy as that sounds. It’s true.
So, regardless of any fraud in actual voting, no one is claiming fraud with the electors and that is the entire ballgame. Heck, the electors theoretically could have made me or you President after Trump won the election in 2024. With all that said, it is very likely the voters did actually choose Trump in 2020 and that would be explosive information when proven.
