How would that work exactly? From my research, the 20th amendment is pretty ironclad. Even in the state of an emergency, the president’s term ends at 12 noon on January 20th.
Even if its delayed for whatever reason, Pelosi would be acting president. The only way the inauguration can be delayed is by Congress which I don’t think that will happen.
I want to understand this because while I do truly 100% believe Trump will be president, I need to understand the time frame to a certain degree in order to prepare accordingly. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Well it's possible Trump will NOT be president. This would actually be better for optics anyway so the normies don't view Trump as Hitler arresting everyone. Obviously Pelosi would be arrested at that point, we'd probably be looking at a Pompeo presidency for a brief period and then Trump takes a second term later. Of course, this is all wild speculation.
If Biden is inaugurated everyone gets pardoned immediately and all those pardons are sealed under the guise of nat'l security.
That is NOT an option.
No, I'm saying that all those people will be arrested, including Biden, prior to the 20th. But Trump can't simply take office because he does not have officially certified electoral votes. So, Trump's term expires on the 20th, and after we go through the order of succession, we are left with Pompeo as Pelosi and Grassley would also be arrested.
I read somewhere today that if the "winner" can't take office the other candidate wins by default.
