Re: [BET] Trump or not Trump 2020, eddie13 vs suchmoon

Elections are NOT going to be cancelled. I highly doubt that Trump is going to be able to pull off some fucking Frank Underwood shit from House of Cards to try to sway this his way.

Doesn't need to be cancelled... postponed until we got law&order reestablished, or until we got a vaccine, or until that Martian situation is dealt with.

There are other options too. E.g. impose strategic curfews/quarantines/anti-Martian blockades in places that (completely coincidentally) tend to vote for Democrats. Or just ask China for help LOL.

if he postpones it without setting a new date right away i would be very worried.

Not saying he isn't capable of making some dictator plays, but I'm pretty sure that constitutionally he can not stay in office after whenever his second term would've started if there's no election and congress would have to pick someone else. So it would have to be rescheduled quickly.

Watched some video about what would happen if there was no election. I think it said that according to the constitution and amendments etc, he would be out of a job something like Jan 20th. Then it gets weird and depending on what the states decided to do in terms of selecting senators, the new president would end up being one of them and I think based on the percentages, it could be a democrat. Either way, one would also have to assume the military upheld their oath to the constitution and escorted him out the door sort of thing.
