Keep in mind that if the election results aren’t certified by Jan 20. That won’t mean trump continues to be president. It means pelosi will act as president since she is the speaker of the house.
However, the presidential succession act has a much broader application than simply applying to a situation where votes aren’t certified by the states.
in any situation where the seat of the president and Vice President remains vacant by Jan 20, pelosi will act in the role of president in the interim.
So even if widespread fraud was found that resulted in eliminating the lead biden has in electoral votes, this does mean that Trump is declared the winner.
even if biden were found to be responsible for this widespread voter fraud, trump would not win a second term for being innocent of voter fraud.
More than likely, we would have to vote again and pelosi would become interim president. Depending on whether you could prove the biden campaign was responsible, would reflect how long it would take to repeat the election.
If that isn’t what we would do, that would be one of the suggestions. Either way, trump does not win if he is found innocent of fraud himself. Trump only wins if he has more votes than his opponent. Even if they found fraud, this would more than likely mean we had to start over. You aren’t just going to be able to weed out the bad votes with some of the speculations of fraud going around especially the ones concerning algorithms.
I don’t know how we would be able to use this past Election Day at all. My guess is that we might have to start over if that turned out to be true.
Regardless, there is no situation that exists at this point in time that leads to trump being inaugurated in January. I hate to break it to you, but that is the reality of the current situation.
at the moment we are looking at the very real possibility that pelosi will have to act as president for some portion of time. Shorter if biden becomes president. Much longer if he doesn’t.
A law professor says if the results of the presidential election are not certified by the deadline, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would become President until a winner is certified.
