I’m not forgetting that. I think about it often. We the People haven’t abolished the current government. Unless and until we do, the current government retains our consent ... and Obama remains the sitting POTUS.
That issue DOES, however, have the interesting property of being [generally] democratic in nature: how many people are required to ‘not-consent’ in order to invalidate a government’s existence?
Certainly 90%, but what about 80%?
70%?
60%?
50%?
40%?
30%?
20%?
10%?
05%?
03%?
01%?
How about ten righteous men, God? Will you spare them for ten righteous men?
