Tomorrow, a group of Republican lawmakers plan to challenge the electoral votes won by President-elect Joe Biden (citing fraud that did not occur), while President Donald Trump is pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to help them (with power he does not have). Noah Feldman writes in Bloomberg Opinion that the 134-year-old law that allows this to happen needs an overhaul. While Biden’s inauguration is almost a foregone conclusion since Democrats control the House, Feldman says that “if the Republicans controlled both houses of Congress, they would be in the position to carry out a constitutional coup d’état.” Trump is planning to address supporters who are gathering in Washington to protest his defeat. Biden bested Trump 306 to 232 in the Electoral College, and by more than 7 million in the popular vote.
Despite all the assurances that Donald Trump cannot overthrow the will of the people I am very concerned. He has a legion of supporters who are determined to see him inaugurated for a second term on January 20. He has even considered the use of the military to retain his office. It may not be a Constitutional Coup d’état but a Coup d’état by any means is good enough for Donald Trump.
Constitutional Coup d’état
The president refuses to acknowledge Joe Biden’s win, but experts say there is no constitutional path forward for him to remain in the White House.
