Remember this - Biden is NOT president yet!

[Whig]

In spite of what all news networks are openly supporting by their discussing "President-Elect Biden" and his cabinet appointments, etc., he is NOT president. Keep close eyes on the news. 75+ million people are not standing by just waiting for Biden to fraudulently take this country away from them. President Trump is quiet for a reason. Too many prayers for a great America for this silence to fall short of the goal for continuing the blessed goal of making and keeping America great. Biden and his false prophets cannot accomplish this.

Let's see what this post generates!

Merry Christmas.

Season's Greetings .....

Whig, I could not possibly agree with you more!!!

Merry Christmas to you and to all.

Well, yes, Trump is still president, and Biden is President Elect. This is just as it always is after an election, the one that wins the electoral college vote is President Elect until sworn in.
I know the news is reporting on Cabinet choices and all, but I don't recall any of them saying that Biden is President yet. Guess I am not sure what you are saying here.

Biden is, as of today, only the PRESUMPTIVE President-elect.

He STILL has to jump the final hurdle on 1/6/21, when a clause in Article ii of the Constitution may, or may not, be invoked by members of Congress. But that's it - if the GOP whiffs (as they often do) on THIS one, we are well and truly screwed. But, IF we can hold the Senate, then Biden's (oh, let's be honest and say, to hell with the puppet) HARRIS' plans can be thwarted for at least two years. Looking ahead, 2022 is not a particularly auspicious year for the GOP, and 2024 is a horse-race all around. If Trump loses in January, he'll probably run again then. But, for the foreseeable future, watch your six and keep your powder dry!

Thanks for the important clarification of what's ahead. I still believe Trump will be victorious. I HAVE to believe that!

Merry Christmas! May be our last one of freedom unless Trump is victorious.

Agreed all around. Always chuckle at "Whig" - my GGF, Horace Barstow Hosmer was, briefly, ca. 1856, a CA State Representative, from San Francisco, and a Whig! Not a word in every day usage.

Twelfth Amendment
The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;–the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;–The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. [And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.–]The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

The link below is to a fascinating article, if you choose to carefully read it. The article discusses how the Supreme Court, in refusing to NOT hear the case of Texas vs. Pennsylvania, set the country up for only one alternative to prevent "disunion" of the states, who are in disagreement regarding the validity of this presidential election. That alternative is a military one. The courts, the Supreme Court in this example, are supposed to settle disagreements of this magnitude, between states, peacefully. In choosing NOT to hear the case, based on "lack of standing", they leave the military option as the only remedy.

The article is very clear and concise. Fascinating discussion I have never seen more clearly defined.

We may have an interesting next few weeks to witness some unusual history in the making.

Whig, thank you so much for the reference! That is one of the best, and clearest, articles I have EVER read, hands down.

In my own clumsy way I have attempted to articulate - on Facebook and other forums - the point made that Texans ARE affected by what happens elsewhere, but fell far short of that article.
