    If it did, he could just outlaw felons from becoming President. SCOTUS doesn’t want that.

    “I have ordered the military to detain Donald Trump in a Federal max security prison and destroy all ballots marked with his name on election day. This is not a change in the laws of our great nation, this is just an act that I am ordering to be performed in my official capacity as POTUS. God bless America.”

      And while he won’t face any charges himself the military will refuse to execute what is an obviously unlawful order.

          If making up imaginary scenarios in your mind that have no chance of happening makes you feel better go for it my man.

            lmao, I mean, I don’t think it has any real chance of happening. But what stops it is Biden being Biden. If it were, say, a fascist in the Oval Office, the only question would be “Who do I ask to do this dirty work?”
