Former President Trump’s alleged efforts to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election were, if proven, an unprecedented assault on the structure of our government. He allegedly injected himself into a process in which the President has no role - the counting and certifying of the Electoral College votes - thereby undermining constitutionally established procedures and the will of the Congress. To immunize former President Trump’s actions would “further . . . aggrandize the presidential office, already so potent and so relatively immune from judicial review, at the expense of Congress — US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit #quotes #quote #CitizenTrump #Trump #law #uspolitics
@StephenRamirez but that statement is factually false.
That the president has no role in the process means he could not have injected himself into it, and he didn't. Because it was not possible in our system of government.
That it was not possible doesn't mean it's a big deal that he did it, because it was not possible for him to have done it, which discounts the accusation on its face.
