When push comes to shove, votes are all counted, and Donald Trump may win in 2024. If so, the vice president– herself a candidate for president – will have to certify Trump’s win. Will she?
This election is unlike any other, but that one particular – certification of the win if Trump is the People’s choice –must be smooth. Anything else would be utterly undemocratic.
So, where are we?
Unlike any past race for president, the incumbent party pressured the winner of their primaries to cede his nomination to his vice president. Odd, never happened before, undemocratic.
Unlike any prior race, the incumbent party – abusing the Justice Department – brought politically motivated lawsuits against the opposing party’s candidate, violating constitutional and statutory law to disqualify, imprison, bankrupt, or intimidate. Strange, unsettling, undemocratic.
Unlike any past race, the incumbent party initiated two impeachments against a sitting president, abandoning due process and precedent, aiming to stop his return to politics. Undemocratic.
Unlike any past race, after President Trump’s election win in 2016, the Obama-Biden White House, Clinton crowd, Justice, FBI, FISA, intelligence community, and Congress initiated a now-disowned plan to undermine his authority by asserting Russian collusion. Undemocratic.
Unlike any past race, the tenure of President Trump was muddied, undermined, and in many ways hobbled by those who disagreed with his conservative fiscal, moral, and national security policies, style in conduct of foreign and domestic policy, and disliked him. Undemocratic.
Unlike any prior race, the 2020 race – which concluded in the certification of Biden and Harris as president and vice president – contained COVID-driven election irregularities linked to new rules and the COVID virus. To stop future fraud, legislatures reversed many changes.
Unlike any prior presidential election, the 2024 race has been marred by two assassination attempts and was preceded by a near assassination of a Supreme Court Justice, with Democratic rhetoric arguing Republicans are an “existential threat” to democracy. Bizarre, undemocratic.
Since when has America allowed, let alone encouraged, political violence? First 2020 street riots, then anger at the Supreme Court, chants of death to “enemies of the people?” undemocratic.
Since when has one candidate – without a single primary vote for president – not only tried to humiliate, imprison, bankrupt, and silence – gag orders – the other, but called him an “existential threat” to democracy, demonizing him as the “end of democracy?” Never, undemocratic.
So, now is the moment of truth. If Donald Trump wins, despite the smears, detractors, false allegations, and media-driven distaste; if Americans pick him as our next president – and Democrat-led swing states certify the Republican electors, what next?
Next is the 12th Amendment, which requires the sitting vice president – herself the presidential candidate who thinks Trump an “existential threat” – must do her clerical job, open envelopes, and declare Trump president, giving him the long-awaited second term.
The 12th Amendment says States “shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States” the state’s choice of president and this shall be “directed to the President of the Senate,” namely the Vice President, who “shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.”
But the zillion-dollar question: Will a presidential candidate who came to her role undemocratically, complicit in abusing the Justice Department to persecute her opponent, interfere in the election, now do her job?
Can the Nation count on Kamilla Harris, who hates Trump, and thinks him an “existential threat,” to act constitutionally, follow the 12th Amendment, and certify Trump as president if the election is close?
Bottom line: The Constitution is about to be tested. Will a liberation theologist, closet Marxist, with little respect for process, truth, or her opponent, certify him? She better, if he is elected. Anything else would be undemocratic – and unconstitutional.
Robert Charles is a former Assistant Secretary of State under Colin Powell, former Reagan and Bush 41 White House staffer, attorney, and naval intelligence officer (USNR). He wrote “Narcotics and Terrorism” (2003), “Eagles and Evergreens” (2018), and is National Spokesman for AMAC. Robert Charles has also just released an uplifting new book, “Cherish America: Stories of Courage, Character, and Kindness” (Tower Publishing, 2024).
I believe that the Democrats will do anything and everything to stop Trump from being elected because this is their chance to assume total control and power. I believe there will be massive voter fraud to flip the election in Kamala’s favor. (why else would the DOJ be suing states trying to remove non-citizens and dead people from voter roles) I believe there will be massive legal battles initiated by Democrats if they lose. They have already stated they are lawyering up in every state for post election legal battles. In the event Trump does win, I believe the Democrats will attempt to tamper with the certified votes delivered by the states to the Senate Leader. And in the event they fail at that, I believe Kamala will NOT certify the election as a final last ditch effort to stop Trump.
These are deranged and dangerous people, fighting for total power and control over the citizens of the US. But unfortunately for the Democrats, the people of the US are starting to wake up to their socialist/communist plans. The Democrats have this one last chance to turn the US full-on socialist/communist as promised and started by Obama. And because this is their last chance, I believe they will do absolutely everything to avoid losing this take over bid.
Lord. I hope that I’m wrong.
RBC, I have been making similar awareness of the Electoral College for the last few weeks on this forum. With the way that the Left DO NOT WANT TO LOSE THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT and END THEIR AGENDA OF DESTROYING THE USA, it is most certainly critical as to what the VP will do at the opening of States decisions at the Electoral College — Will there be a peaceful turnover or an insurrection by the Left to continue their usurping the laws of the land? The country will certainly be tested to the furthest limits of humanity. May GOD’s Will be done.
Of course, they’ve broken every law on the books and trashed our Constitution. But they’d better think long & hard before they try that.
Let’s put it this way. If Camel refuses to certify Trump’s Presidency, January 6th, 2021 will pale compared to what would happen if this dolt refuses to certify the election. It will not only take place in DC, but will spill into every major city in blue states. This would cause irreparable harm not only to the country, it’s people, and as importantly, our standing in the eyes of our enemies.
Thanks for this eye opening article and I hope it’ll open the minds of those brainwashed by the biased and corrupt mainstream media. Print thee and send it to those people who you think will vote for Kamala.
I have been hearing a plan of declaring martial law by demoncrats AND allowing LETHAL attacks on citizens by the military…I believe there’s NOTHING they won’t do. They cannot afford to lose this NWO corruption they’ve installed and are so entrenched they do not fear the American citizens.
Resist, resist, resist, Russia, Russia, Russia… they’ve already got the track record for it. But if its civil war they want, its their move.
We hope she does, or we could possibly have our second Civil War; as Good versus Evil per what I am hearing in public restaurants. Greed of power is always Satan’s best tools for humanities’ discord.
This administration has a record of not having a reverse gear. There is gossip that they will do something to make sure Trump does not take office. If true and if he wins but is prevented from taking office, it is horrifying to imagine how democrats pull this off.
@apeus So, by “censorship”, you mean like the kind sponsored by the government (Facebook, Google, Twitter (previously), mainstream media, and yes, AARP? Give me a break
I agree 1000% with the short article. This nation has become a third-world hell-hole. No thing that happens anymore will shock me. Kamalba and Joe are aanymoren abomination to Our Lord and a disgraceful treasonous regime. We as a nation may be doomed. A pity, but they say the people get what they deserve by who they elect. Do stolen fraudulent elections count?
Expect the unexpected, we can only hope & pray for the best ????
The only salient feature is that Harris is “certifiable”, but, in a different way….
The vice resident has GOD watching her and she will not survive HIS wrath if she does not do her duty to certify the vote.
Isn’t that a conflict of interest?
Shouldn’t she step down from that position?
But who could take that position? Has this ever happened in the past?
There is only one way out and that’s the White Hat Military & GTMO! Get ready folks, it’s going to be a tough ride.
YES, SHE’D BETTER.
This will be very interesting when Kamala has to certify President Trump’s victory. It will be a very incredible occurrence if it proceeds without corrupt shenanigans. I can see Kamala executing an investigation and corruption charges with prison as Putin carried out against all of his opponents, or simply an assassination, just as Putin has implemented in the past. After all, Putin endorsed Kamala as his choice for president, maybe he will offer to take him out for her.
I think that Harris will follow the oath of this office the same as Mike Pence did in 2020 election. We should expect our elected leaders to do what the Constitution directs them to do and not what one of the parties want. AG Bill Barr investigated and did not find fraud din 2020 election & so why do some people believe that Trump won.
How about Marxist and Unconstitutional?
Kamilla? Don’t fuel the Dems fire with unedited content, please.
Maybe Arizona in 2022 should become cautionary to us all.
These communist pigs are going to pull something, either before the election or between the election and inauguration day, count on it! But Trump is the actual danger to this democracy huh?
All throughout history, communists have
assumed power and control over target nations through violence, bloodshed and
genocide! The United States, being as big and powerful a nation that it is,
would have been a very tall order indeed to go that historical route. So, for
the past number of decades they have been attempting subversion through
education (indoctrination), the media and corrupting every single government
department that they could get their hands on including Justice! (communist
long march through the institutions) As well as taking over one of the two
major political parties! The pendulum has swung fully to the left, but it is
now on its return to the center (at least) and hopefully to the right again!
This is how a democratic republic is supposed to work, provided we still have
honest and fair elections, the people will always reject any attempts at
stealing and subverting their God given rights and freedoms! Rights are always
taken for granted until someone tries to take them away. Protect and safeguard
our precious elections!!!
Didn’t the Pelosi cabal change the statute so the VP is merely a clerk and has no say in certification! They made that change because Trump was right that Pence could send delegates back to the states for verification and they did not want the VP to have that authority. Maybe the morons in the democrat party shot themselves in the foot with that one.
It is quite possible, come January sixth, that Harris will not be vice president.
If she loses, as I believe she will, Biden will resign from office, making her the first black female President,
so he can take credit for it.
As usual, our side is smoking dopium.
Did V.P. Nixon certify Kennedy, of course he did. Did V.P. Humphrey certify Nixon, of course he did. Did V.P. Gore certify Bush, of course he did. (And the results of two of those elections are still being debated.)
Now to directly answer your question, if she loses, will Harris certify the election ? Of course she will.
