It's really annoying that these posts keep getting made. None of this matters.
Biden has been sworn in, so the 2020 election is final. It. Is. Final.
Never has a federal election been overturned. The closest that it has ever gotten is an order for a new election.
It is possible that SCOTUS could order a new election for President and Vice-President, but there is no precedent to that, The thing I find problematic is that the Constitution specifies that a term is four years and the only way to remove a sitting President is impeachment.
So that leaves only these options:
The Speaker of The House resigns, and the House votes in Donald Trump as the new Speaker. Congress then impeaches, convicts, and removes Biden and Harris; making Trump President.
Harris resigns, Biden appoints Donald Trump Vice-President, then he also resigns. Trump would then become President.
Biden nominates Trump to a cabinet position, the Senate confirms him. Congress impeaches, convicts, and removes Biden, then pass a bill stating that Donald Trump is the federal official who will act as President. Acting-President Pelosi signs the bill into law and she remains Speaker of the House.
The long shot: SCOTUS orders a new Election, and Trump wins if there is no fraud. He's then sworn in on January 20, 2022.
That's it. There is no other option. No re-instatement. No overturning of the election.
Yes, there is. The Founding Fathers spelled it out here:
We, The People, can remove the illegitimate President and Vice-President and seat the legitimate President in these circumstances.
That's the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. This describes why the founders were declaring independence; not the definition of a constitutional process.
If you are suggesting that we amass an army, storm the capital, and overthrow the government, then you have a point. But there is no constitutional mechanism to undo the election.
That is the point, when there is no process, it falls to We, The People, not government, and not the constitution. The constitution originates from The People, not from any other source.
