He can make speeches but that's about it. Should he declare the election null and void? That's not in the constitution. He'd lose and probably damage the party's reputation for decades to come. Force Congress to vote? Last time I checked the President doesn't submit bills to Congress -- they send him bills to sign or veto. Apart from initiating an investigation into hacking allegations, there's nothing to be done.

There will be no leadership of the sort you are hoping to see. guillaumeb Dec 2016 #2

Good leadership is not about confrontation, and we know that is what Trump likes. cbdo2007 Dec 2016 #8
