re: #196 thedopefishlives

Should Drumpf have been shown to have materially benefited from a verifiably rigged election, I suspect the course of action would simply be a new election. I don’t think there’s any precedent or Constitutional case for this.

I believe I read somewhere recently that had Johnson been convicted, Congress would have tried to set a special election for president. However, I don’t believe that would have been constitutional then, and based on the subsequent Amendments dealing with the presidency, I am strongly of the opinion that it would not be constitutional now. The Constitution clearly sets term lengths for the president and members of Congress, I suspect to avoid situations like you see in Europe with early elections.
