This is a first attempt to move the needle on AI foundational governance. It was created with the help of AI, but the result has been audited for first principles adherence and do no harm guidelines.
You can’t get elected if you don’t count the votes. That requires a joint session of congress. If due to an unprecedented emergency the congress cannot come into session there’s no clear rule what happens.
Any number of emergent events may create an emergency preventing the congress from gathering. The congress are collaborators and the Supreme Court is compromised.
I was under the impression that the 20th amendment would still terminate his term on January 20th, noon. In the absence of an elected president, the line of succession as defined in the Presidential Succession Act would kick in, meaning you got a Speaker of the House becoming president (if one exists), and if not, the Senate's president pro tempore.
Not entirely sure where you see murky and undefined situations...
Trump was giddy at that Zelenskiy meeting a few months ago, when he heard elections were suspended in Ukraine due to the war. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bvUBtdHw3g4 Said something like "So, if in 3.5 years, we are in a war... no more elections. Oh, that's good."
Yeah, and who's going to force the issue? The minute someone kicks over a trashcan it'll be declared as the latest national emergency and the loyal forces of law and order will be told to terminate whiny radicals in sight. Would you have believed anyone who told you five years ago that there would be masked federal cops snatching people off the street in broad daylight by 2025?
If it were to happen, I fully expect the supreme court to contort itself for a bespoke ruling that only applies under the current set of circumstances, favoring a very specific candidate and no one else.
The constitutional amendment that GOP have put forward specifically prohibits any president who previously served two consecutive terms. (they had already thought this through, it literally only allows Trump three terms)
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”
They can't possibly believe that they'll get 37 states to ratify it in the next three years to make it all square and legal. Their only plausible path is some very tortured Supreme Court ruling.
Reminder that the President's legal team argued that he could have his political rivals executed by SEAL Team 6 and the Supreme Court was like "yep!" and ruled in his favor.
Look at the options they are actually evaluating. This is not about an actual election or changing amendments (which even they admit is unlikely) and more playing the system using never before used tricks to have Trump in the chair again after the dust settles.
I get the impulse and it would be amusing, but I have a feeling people are sick of "dynasty" Dem candidates for president (Hillary after her husband, Biden/Harris after each being VPs.) Feels like his legacy and appeal has kind of faded too. He was an exciting first-time candidate and good-enough incumbent, but third term?
Handing your own power down to yourself — as is the case when a VP wins the primary and presidency, or Obama running for a third term — is not a “dynasty”.
If they do this approach they will surely say that the constitutional limit is two consecutive terms, and since Trump's two terms were non-consecutive, he's still eligible to run again.
Is curl ever going to have a mature /sane way to handle silent output? I seem to have to redirect 2>&1 and other -o- options. It’s annoying. Always has been.
Like that matters to consumers? Regardless of who invented sodas, the market has changed and people connect more brands to the kind of drink now, so equating Pepsi to Soda is factually incorrect.
Sure do. I use Buku and the firefox extension. I have a command line alias that shows me all my bookmarks so can grep for certain keywords and cms-click to open them. It works a treat!
