A question of timely significance RIGHT NOW (as in, to ascertain BEFORE Monday
morning) is:
- How does the electoral college vote effect a sitting president's ("lame duck
session") powers, if at all?
A closely related question is:
- At what point in the "election cycle" did Abe Lincoln declare Martial Law?
"Ole Abe" set a precedent when he declared martial law, and he is today
considered one of the greatest presidents known to history.
And it was not the declaration of martial law per sē, it was the declaration of
martial law _for the right reasons_, i.e. for righteousness, justice, and the
handling of criminals and despotism.
We would not want the opportunity for such an historic event today to stand for
righteousness, justice, and for the handling of criminals and despotism, to be
missed by president Trump due to some bullshit technicality like "standing" or
"missed the date re power to declare".
As a final, if blindingly obvious note, the president would of course need to
have those patriots who would be tasked with enforcing martial law, be on his
side and ready, and willing, and able to enforce such declaration of martial
law. Primary such forces are the army, navy, and secondary forces may include
citizens militias, and the national guard.
Citizens militias don't seem to be sufficiently public/ existent at this point
in time.
Good luck,
