"Contingent elections have occurred only three times in American history: in 1801, 1825, and 1837.
The three past contingent elections were held by the outgoing Congress, since, at the time, congressional terms ended / began on March 4, the same day as presidential terms. In 1933, the 20th Amendment moved the congressional term end / start date to an earlier date in the year than the new January 20 presidential term end / start date. The amendment reduced the length of lame-duck sessions of Congress. As a result, the contingent elections are conducted by the incoming Congress.[2] "
" The 20th Amendment has it that Trump, or any other lame-duck leader, loses his presidential mandate January 20 at noon, and, if he tries to stick around after that, the very guard once tasked with protecting the nation's top officeholder now has to evict him. "
"If no president has been chosen by January 20, 2021, then the statutory line of succession begins, which means the Speaker of the House (Nancy Pelosi ) ascends to the presidency. The Vice President's term similarly ends at noon on January 20."
But who didn't see this coming tho????
"The Electoral College must cast its ballots on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December. This year, that’s December 14. If disputed state vote totals are not resolved by six days prior to that date, Congress can step in, under the 1887 Electoral Count Act."
Trump's term would automatically run out if there was no election (or if it was "official" that he lost it would end). What we have now is a disputed election.
Hate reading (but love smoking) brehs ...
Think January comes before December brehs ...
Lame Duck Trump in the cut. Now that's a scary site

Those are laws and words that mean nothing to a large army with guns. Trump is installing loyalists at the pentagon. We are looking at the worst case scenario right now.
Folk on some "It's not going to happen, calm down" until it actually happens. This has been the Trump presidency. Finding cracks and exploiting them. Doing what people wouldn't dare think he' do. This shyt is crazy.
