he can't. No authority.

 

[Dariush the Great]

The US constitution does not allow that

He is just trolling the media. They will spend hours of their time bitching about something that he does not have the power to do. All USA elections are run by State and Local election officials. All citizen voting is governed by State law and State and local employees. The Federal government does not collect or schedule a single citizen vote except when the Electoral College meets and votes.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 of the US Constitution states:

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing [sic] the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

Since 1936, federal law has provided that the electors in all the states (and, since 1964, in the District of Columbia) meet "on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December next following their appointment" to vote for president and vice president.

Under Article II, Section 1, Clause 2, all elected and appointed federal officials are prohibited from being electors. The Office of the Federal Register is charged with administering the Electoral College.

After the vote, each state then sends a certified record of their electoral votes to Congress. The votes of the electors are opened during a joint session of Congress, held in the first week of January, and read aloud by the incumbent vice president, acting in his capacity as President of the Senate. If any person received an absolute majority of electoral votes that person is declared the winner. If there is a tie, or if no candidate for either or both offices receives a majority, then choice falls to Congress in a procedure known as a contingent election.

Mr Trump your time is up, stop making lame excuses. Your Tenure will certainly be remembered in INFAMY, as the WORST administration in the US history.

Lol Trump loves throwing spanners in the works. You got to admit, love him, stay neutral or hate him, he does make politics watchable and hilarious.

 

[Gomig-21]

He's setting it up so that if he loses, he can turn around and use this as an excuse and say see, I told you this would happen and maybe even use the last month and a half in office before turning the keys over to have the supreme court rule on it and extend his stay in the WH etc. He's just trying anything he can to give himself a fallback.

Oh com'on. You don't want him to stay on?

Trump the China hater is gone in a few months

 

[casual]

Funny thing is China actually prefer for trump to stay on.

I thought Trump had said that Covid-19 was all under control in the US. He even organised demonstrations to have the lockdown lifted after states resisted.

Once Trump is gone, sanctions put on China goes away.
