Some Democrats are planning to remove Donald Trump from the White House unless the Supreme Court rules him constitutionally unfit, according to a new report.
Friday, Atlantic Ocean We have published an article explaining “How can Democrats disqualify Trump if the Supreme Court doesn’t disqualify him?” Plan? According to The Atlantic, “House Democrats have indicated they may not certify President Trump’s victory on January 6” if the Supreme Court does not provide “clear guidance” (i.e., the outcome Democrats want). .
you read that correctly. Some Democrats may do exactly what President Trump claims he tried to do: block the certification of the presidential election.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments earlier this month. Trump vs. AndersonThe case stems from the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling that Trump is constitutionally unfit to serve as president.judges appear to be highly skeptical of the case and could potentially rule unanimously in Trump’s favor.
But what if the court didn’t specifically address Trump’s eligibility? That could lead to a “constitutional crisis,” The Atlantic argued.
In that case, “Democrats would have to choose between certifying a winner that many believe is unqualified or going against the will of the voters who elected him…even if President Trump were to win. “Democrats have a serious chance of winning a majority in Congress in November and taking back the presidency on the same day. If that happens, they could have the votes to block him from taking office.” said the publication.
In fact, The Atlantic spoke with House Democratic leaders who, in their own words, were “not committed to certifying Trump’s victory” absent a specific ruling on Trump’s eligibility. ”.
“That would be a disaster,” said Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff. “We’ve already had a horrible January 6th. We don’t need another day.”
Schiff, Representative Jim Clyburn (D), and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D) all agree that unless the Supreme Court directly rules on Trump’s constitutional fitness, is not committed to certifying the possibility of victory.
Meanwhile, The Atlantic sought to lighten the weight of hypocrisy.
The paper said Democrats were “trembling at the potential consequences” even though they “left open the possibility of contesting Trump’s victory.” Additionally, The Atlantic suggested that it would be a mistake if Democrats objected to Trump’s victory. different.
From the Atlantic:
As Republicans are fond of pointing out, Democrats have challenged the certification of every Republican presidential winner since 2000. None of these challenges were fruitful, and the premise was to challenge the results and legitimacy of the election itself. But it is unprecedented for a presidential election to be contested by claiming that the winner is disqualified.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) was perhaps the most obvious.
“We may decide that’s something we need to prepare for,” Raskin told The Atlantic, refusing to certify a likely Trump victory.
