The rules for presidential succession are fairly clearly established in the constitution as amended. Even supposing there was evidence of fraud, that it could be tied to Biden, and that he were impeached, resigned or otherwise removed, all of which is absurdly unlikely given the lack of evidence and the Democrats holding the Senate, the succession would go to the Vice President, the Speaker, president pro temper of the Senate, the cabinet secretaries, etc… The former president just isn’t on the list.
I’m sort of used to fantasies coming from the Republican base, but this one is unusually unrealistic. Does anyone have any clue how it could legally come to be? Are those who promote or believe the theory advocating the overthrow of the constitution?
I don't know. Do you have a theory on how such a fantasy could come to be?
