And that's assuming as I said a year ago that he doesn't resign early so that President Pence can pardon him. That's just him dodging the army of people just waiting for him to serve him with lawsuits the moment he is no longer president Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgo Posted June 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hah I didn't realize her husband was Sheriff of Orange County and current Mayor of Orange County. They could not run against this ticket That said, would she be able to navigate Washington as deftly as someone like Warren and oversee major initiatives?

Surely the Supreme Court would step in - in response to lawsuits and rule against him overwhelmingly but then what? Logistically that would be up to the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate.

IsntLifeFunny Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) 8 minutes ago, tgo said: How so? The Sergeant at Arms can, upon orders of the Senate, arrest and detain any person who violates Senate rules, or is found in contempt of Congress. That’s the easiest way. Chief Law Enforcement Officer As the Senate’s chief law enforcement officer, the sergeant at arms can compel senators to come to the Senate Chamber to establish a quorum. In addition, the sergeant at arms supervises the Senate wing of the Capitol, maintaining security in the Capitol and in all the Senate buildings and controlling access to the Senate Chamber and galleries. The sergeant at arms also protects the members and can arrest and detain any person violating Senate rules. The Secret Service would hopefully stand down. Like I said, logistically, it’s the easiest way. Edited June 2, 2020 by IsntLifeFunny tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Secret Service would hopefully stand down. Like I said, logistically, it’s the easiest way. I would assume the Senate would need to be under Democratic control for this to happen though. Also, Roberts would just swear Biden in at the normal time I bet, regardless of what Trump was doing. Edited June 2, 2020 by tgo ChemEngr79 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Republicans came to their senses then yes. I hope it doesn’t go this route. It may not end in civil war, but it would definitely be close where the white suburb people start to fight back. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
