Rule of Claw

No laws change without a Governor's signature. The legislature of PA decided long ago to pass a law saying how electors in that state are appointed.

LONG AGO they chose to involve the Governor in the process, by said Governor signing off on law. They can't pass a law without a Governor nor can they invalidate one, so what court would let them choose the FREAKING President without a signature?

To wit-part of how they determined to appoint electors was to pass a LAW not a resolution involving the Governor's approval. Maybe had they passed a resolution before locking the Governor into the process it would work.

But the notion is fantasy.
