Who
chooses the President of the United
States?
This
question is by no means rhetorical. For example,
the mass disinformation media has chosen Joe
Biden as the winner of the 2020 election. Many
people liked this news, but I must disappoint
them – the television broadcasters have,
according to the U.S. Constitution, nothing to
do with who will live in the White House for the
next four years.
Maybe
the Supreme Court chooses the President? No, the
Constitution does not provide for this. Could it
be that the citizens of America choose their
President? Following the U.S. Constitution, no.
So, who then chooses the President?
Before
answering this question, let us note that,
contrary to popular misconception, the President
of the United States is not a representative of
the American people. State legislators and
governors are representatives of the people, and
at the federal level so are the members of the
House of Representatives of the United States
Congress. (Currently, senators are also
representatives of the people, but before the
ratification of the 17th Amendment to the
Constitution in 1913, they were appointed by
state legislators). So, who does the President
of America represent?
The
President of the United States of America,
according to the Constitution, represents state
legislators' interests and no one
else.
In
general, the federal government's structure in
America reflects the numerous attempts of the
Founding Fathers of the United States to
introduce a system of effective state control
over the federal government. The fact is that
the main difference between our country and all
other countries, without exception, is that it
was organized "from the bottom up," that is,
individual colonies voluntarily united against a
common enemy – the British Empire. All other
"republics" on the planet were created
"from the top down," when the already
existing provinces were graciously granted some
independence by the already existing central
government.
In
building the American state, the fundamental
principle was state control over the newly
created federal power structure. Therefore, from
the Founding Fathers' point of view, the federal
government in Washington should consist of both
representatives of the people (congressmen) and
representatives of the state leadership – the
federal President and senators. This is how the
institution of the Electoral College was
invented and implemented. The electors are
appointed by the state legislatures, and they
are the ones who elect the President of the
country.
So
why do American citizens need to participate in
the presidential elections? Well, strictly
speaking, it is not necessary. It is just that
there is a long tradition in America – state
legislators appoint electors in such a way that
these appointments correspond to the mood of the
people (in some states, this is even enshrined
by law). This is a tradition, but according to
the U.S. Constitution, the participation of the
people in presidential elections, generally
speaking, is not required. According to the
Constitution, the people participate in the
direct elections of their legislators, which is
quite enough.
There
is nothing reprehensible in this – after all,
the President of America is not the
representative of the American people. He is the
representative of state legislators. From the
point of view of the states, the President (and
pre-1913, two senators from each state) are the
"overseers" of the federal government. In other
words, the President, from the point of view of
state legislators, is "our man in Havana"
(that is, in Washington), who is responsible for
the observance of state rights by the federal
government.
Thus,
under the Constitution, state legislators have
the right to generally ignore the results of the
voting of citizens of their state and appoint
those who they deem necessary to the Electoral
College. Why did the Founding Fathers of the
United States give state legislators such
unprecedented power? Because most of the
Founding Fathers were geniuses with impressive
foresight. They did not know precisely when this
would happen, but they knew it would eventually
happen: the election's published results would
have nothing to do with how the citizens
voted.
This
is exactly what happened in 2020.
Of
course, there have been falsifications in the
counting of votes in America before.
However,
in 2020, the Democrats went all-in with a scam,
and for the first time in American history, they
were close to success. Actually, they simply had
no other choice. They knew very well that
another Trump term would be enough to crush the
American left to its core. (However,
even if Trump does not manage to stay in the
White House, his departure from politics will be
such that the left will not be
envied.)
Now,
more than a week after the elections, it is
already clear what the Trump team is doing. They
are working in two directions.
First,
they sue in states where there was a clear
violation of the electoral law. Violations
include the counting of votes that came after
polling stations closed, turnout of more than
100%, the use of computer systems that were
systematically "wrong," always in favor of
Biden, the thousands of Pennsylvania voters born
on January 1, 1900 (or even on January 1, 1800),
and much more.
For
example, election results in some
Democrat-controlled states violate fundamental
laws of both mathematics and physics. The votes
cast for Biden do not comply with the
statistical law of distribution of digits
(Benford's
Law),
while the ballots cast for Trump do adhere to
this law. Thousands of mailed ballots were
received even before they were officially sent.
Thus, the 2020 election showed compelling
evidence of the possibility of time
travel.
Secondly,
the Trump team calls on state legislators to use
their constitutional powers to rectify the local
executive authority's criminal actions to the
point of completely ignoring the falsified
voting results.
These
are the expected steps. Any presidential
candidate would and should take such measures.
Al Gore did the same in 2000, but then the case
concerned only the state of Florida. In 2000,
the country did not know the name of the winner
for 35 days, and in 2020 we should not expect a
faster resolution of the issue because now we
are talking about at least six "problem"
states.
Only
now is the reason for the frenzy with which the
Democrats attacked the three Trump-nominated
Supreme Court justices is becoming clear. The
fact is that the Trump-nominated current U.S.
Supreme Court justices – Gorsuch, Kavanagh, and
Barrett – were on Bush's legal team that secured
the Supreme Court case in favor of Bush in
2000.
But
the main difference between the 2020 elections
and the 2000 elections is the involvement of the
federal government's apparatus in investigating
violations. The investigation is carried out by
both prosecutors of the Department of Justice
and FBI agents.
According
to the Constitution, all courts and all other
voting problems must be resolved by the first
Monday after the second Wednesday of December,
which falls on December 14 this year. If on
December 14, the Electoral College fails to
elect a president, then the Constitution also
provides for this scenario. Per the 12th
Amendment to the Constitution, in this case, the
President and Vice President will be elected by
the House of Representatives (however, if for
some reason the Vice President cannot be elected
by the House of Representatives, then the right
of his choice is transferred to the
Senate.)
In
the House of Representatives, state delegations
will be voting, not the individual congressmen
themselves. Now in the House of Representatives,
the majority of delegations – 26 – belong to
Republicans. In the Senate, the Republicans also
have an advantage. So, the only reason Trump can
lose the election now, a week after the
election, is his own admission of defeat. But
such a strange decision by Trump is unlikely –
this guy is from Queens, and if he gets involved
in a fight, he will see it through to the
end.
It
is also unlikely that Trump does not understand
that if the chronic vote-rigging by Democrats is
not stopped now, America will end. The Trump
team is well aware that such an opportunity to
end the creeping socialist revolution may no
longer be presented.
As
a result, Democrats will likely not recover from
this fraud. The disinformation media (which Fox
News joined on the election night) will not
recover from deliberately covering up this
fraud, this attempted coup. If the Democrats
went for broke, then Trump could, most likely,
also go for broke.
Trump
may have already destroyed the Democratic
National Committee, but they just do not know it
yet.
In
military terms, Trump's team conducted careful
reconnaissance and intelligence on the enemy for
a week. They collected numerous affidavits about
the electoral fraud of Democrats, witnesses who
confirm their testimony under oath. But on the
evening of November 10, the reconnaissance was
completed, and massive artillery bombardment
began in the form of lawsuits in several key
states and the initiation of criminal
investigations into violations by the Department
of Justice. If this does not help, Trump will
bring into the battle the strategic reserves
available only to the President of the American
state apparatus – for example, in the form of a
complete declassification of Obamagate. In any
case, our country is by no means at the end; we
are at the very beginning of this
process.
From
a legal perspective, Biden is an impostor, a
false president, at least until December 14 of
this year. If Biden can declare himself
President-elect without any legal basis, then
any other American citizen can also declare
himself President-elect.
Therefore,
I am forced to repeat my advice once again – to
survive in this leftist madhouse, turn off the
TV and start thinking for yourself. If you have
read the article so far, you will definitely
succeed. And remember – if the laws in our
country are still observed, then the chances of
the Harris-Biden administration (in this order)
are practically zero. If the laws in America are
not followed, then the great American political
experiment will unfortunately end.
