If congress certifies, Trump wins.
Eh, that's not really true. However if RFK wins states and throws the election into Congress for the tie breaker then yeah.
No, it is true. If Trump wins enough votes and Congress certifies the election, Trump wins. It's always been that way. I didn't spell out Trump in my original post for brevity.
I don't think Congress does tie breakers.

Look, I'm all for equal representation and equal opportunity for everyone. The US had a black president already, which is awesome, but I'm not thinking the next step here is to "recently convicted felon". Maybe try for a woman as president first?
Just saying.
There's a whole long LIST of things we can try long before settling on "first felon president."
-
First Woman President
-
First Openly Gay President
-
First Asian/Pacific Islander President
-
First Albino President
-
First Teenage President
-
First Werewolf President
-
First Teenage Werewolf President
-
First Robot President
-
First Robot Teenage Werewolf President
-
First Normal President
We could go on and on too.
Try and start easy with an openly atheist president and work from there
Key word being "openly". Funny Trump's followers think he believes in God and isn't just pandering to them.
Yup that's why I put that word in there
Off topic but I'm not ok with a robot president, because it would mean we made fully conscious robots, which is a recipe for disaster. We need to build flexible and smart tools without an ego, not an actually superior iron race.
How about a young guy with truly progressive ideas? I find it hard to believe no one ever gains enough traction with social media the way it is, or maybe it's because social media is the way it is. Or maybe people like that just don't get into politics.

The gnostics wouldn't accept any president. I'm expecting a response in relation as to why i chose a cult.
