    If NO Election is held, then Patrick Leahy would become the President:

    • On Jan. 20, 2021 Trump and Vice-president Mike Pence's terms expire. They could not seek office.
    • The Speaker of the House is third in line, but without an election every house member's term expires Jan. 3, including Pelosi.
    • Fourth in line is president pro tempore of the Senate, the senior most member of the majority party, currently Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-IA. But, the majority party would flip because 23 Republicans and 12 Democratic seats would be up for re-election in 2020, with terms expiring in January.
    • Losing less seats, the Democrats would have control of the Senate. The senior most member of the majority party, fourth in line, would be Leahy.

    You guys always say that because a fake news outlet said it. You just blindly believe it.

    Yet you can never quote the alleged lies and prove that they are lies.

    Two things:

    1. The 20th Amendment "provides that “the terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January.” Thus, even if the election were somehow canceled, Trump and Vice President Mike Pence’s terms would still expire as scheduled".

    2. A "trio of federal laws set Election Day for presidential electors, senators, and US representatives as “the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November.” If Republicans want to change this law, they will need to go through the Democratic House."

    https://www.vox.com/2020/3/21/21188152/trump-cancel-november-election-constitution-coronavirus

    So stop worrying people. At most without elections Trump's term of office ends at noon on January 20. No exceptions, unless he decides declare himself dictator. At which time the American people who still believe in the Constitution will rise up and escort him to the door.

    want to start with his claims about attendance at inaugural? Or perhaps his claims North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat. Or do you want to deal with his lies about the Corona virus?

    § 7. The electors of President and Vice President of each State shall meet and give their votes on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December next following their appointment at such place in each State as the legislature of such State shall direct.

    That will happened regardless of what happens in November. If the Democrats want to change that they will have to go through a Republican Senate.

    I'm not surprised the Joe screwed this up, he isn't even clear on what office he is running for.

    Donald Trump’s Greatest Escape
    His critics assume this crisis has to take Trump down, whether for the bungled response or the economic collapse. They’re missing something important: He’s been training for this moment his entire life.

    [​IMG]
    Trump has built an astonishingly consistent record of surviving crises, of dodging the comeuppance everyone assumes is coming his way, and then turning seeming calamity into his next great opportunity—and emerging not just intact but emboldened.

    Everybody should request MAIL IN BALLOTS this year to avoid the long lines at the polls!!!We need to bring voting into tthe21st Century instead of using early20th century antiquated methods. Computerize it and everybody votes from home on either their PC or smart phone. Time to MODERNIZE!!!

    What it says it is that it is time to start voting 3rd party or to pick between 2 major party candidates who don't understand the Constitution, although Trump seems far more ignorant of it. I know my choice.

    Prove what! Those are facts well proven. You might want to learn how to use the internet.

    And name calling only fools idiots like yourself who think that somehow that makes them seem more intelligent.

    The last Republican to win the popular vote was H.W.Bush, some 32 years ago.

    Yes I know the gullible drank CNN's kool aid. They made the gullible believe that because their camera angle showed part of the National Mall that was empty because Democrat "Resist" protesters and terrorists blocked many entrances. The inauguration was viewed by more people than ever before, by far. I know because I've been attending them for decades. Trump's inauguration had the largest crowed ever. The only question is how many of them were actually Democrat protesters.

    I would agree to that only if after the mail in ballots are received we do not announce the results for a month. All signatures must be cross referenced and if they do not match toss them, I don't care if they are Red or Blue toss them, in Colorado the democrat party are experts at harvesting ballots that people intend to toss out. You can be sure that 100% of those thousands of ballots get turned in with votes for democrats down the line. Republicans are not nefarious enough to have thought of that ballot harvesting, and I still hope they never start engaging in it. But after seeing how mail in has worked here I can tell you it is the wet dream of the democrat party to have nationwide mail in (harvesting) balloting.


    I have again spoken.

    Article II Section I:
    The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years,

    Trump has to be out of the white house by Jan 20 according to the constitution without a vote. Now Congress and the states can move election day, but it needs to happen before Jan 20, and provide enough time to count votes and set things up for the next president. The covid outbreak will probably come again in the fall and won't go away between November and January. One solution is that we hold the election in a month or two when the virus has died down. Another is that we work now to set up a reliable online and mail voting system.

    It needs to happen before the EC meets or the State legislatures will choose the electors who will then choose the President on the 3rd Wednesday after the first Monday in December. To use the state elections those have to be held with enough time between that election and the EC meeting to allow for contest and challenges. But one way or another the EC will choose the President. I don't think there will be a problem with in person voting at least not where I live.

    If we have an election by mail, Trump is 100% certain to lose and lose badly.

    So yes, if he could, he would postpone a by-mail election
