10. Theres no provision in the constitution or in law for a new election

True statesmen would find a way. Donnie gets impeached, pence nominated Hillary veep, congress confirms her, then pence gets the boot.

Unfortunately, there are nowhere near the statesmen needed for that in the Republican Party.

But the Supreme Court can’t do anything about it. There’s nothing they can hang their hat on.

The president was properly chosen by the electors and this was confirmed by the house. There’s no process for going back and changing the electors and redoing the electoral college.
