We don't need EPA regulations. We don't need free and fair elections. What DO we need?

An expanded Supreme Court.

And don’t bash me or call me naïve

This would mean an end to the popular vote. So, no I doubt they will do that. Again, I respectfully ask that you don’t bash me for my opinion that is based in law.

I'm pretty sure we could make it happen in 4 years, but I'd up the timeline if it gets this obviously a trainwreck.

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States




Remember, there is no constitutional requirement to hold a public election for President. Each of the 50 state's have chosen to do so, but they are under no mandate.
