What if Mr. Trump becomes president again and refuses to take the oath to uphold and protect our Constitution, as defined in Article II, Section 1, Clause 8?
Can he refuse to take the oath and declare himself a “dictator for a day”?
Can he use the argument that he does not need to take the oath because he won the election by popular vote?
Can he refuse to acknowledge the Electoral College process?
What are the constitutional legal ramifications of not taking the oath of office?
The Electoral College process cannot remove an elected official because it is not a straightforward process. “There is no Constitutional provision … that requires electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in some states … but, States may require electors to cast their votes according to the popular vote, or … those bound by pledges to political parties.”
Voters must challenge their political beliefs and ask themselves if they are willing to give up individual liberty to a fascist dictator.
