The remedy for this COUP isn't Hatch. It's Clinton.

31. Sadly, that can not happen

Consider that even when it was determined that had ALL the Florida votes been recounted, Gore would have won -- nothing happened. Consider that even as Republicans went to jail for spamming the GOTV lines in Manchester, NH in a close race, no one removed Sununu and replaced him with Shaheen. Consider that the election in 2004 was not given to John Kerry when you could make the case that voter suppression by providing too few machines in Ohio cities leading to 4 hour lines cost Kerry more than the votes he lost to Bush by.

The fact is that even if there were a way to prove in 2004 or 2016 that the Democrat would have won a fair election, there is no recourse in the Constitution for correcting the election after electors are assigned and the results tallied in the Congress. In fact, in the Constitution, there is no call for the direct election of the President. In 2000, we learned that if a state's election results were not clear, the state's legislature really was charged with picking the electors. The Constitution, in fact, is less Democratic than we like to think it is.

What the Constitution does have is a line of succession. If Trump is impeached, assuming that Pence was not thrown out for complicity himself (or like Agneau for something else), he will become President. This article, which might best be called fantasy, has not just 2 people (like Nixon, Agneau) being taken down, but has Trump, Pence and then Ryan. This is pretty far fetched. But, let's assume that it is all true - there is a very bizarre and completely unlikely way to get Clinton or someone else. That would follow the Nixon model. Pence would resign or be impeached. Trump would nominate someone for VP who could win 60 votes. Then he would be impeached and this person would become President. So, who could be this year's Ford? I can not imagine anyone that could get 60 votes -- and note to Trump - no to Jared Kushner. Rather than Hatch, maybe we could consider Dick Lugar. Conservative, but a man of integrity and respected internationally.
