Example #9,856,001 of Things Trump Cannot Legally Do Without Congress.

Consequences are coming any day now.... ANY day now....

Or even with congress. The constitution says each state has the power to manage their own elections.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Surely this . . .

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago

But Trump would have to read the Constitution to uphold it, right? So I guess that's just out.

His only way to bypass Congress would be to invoke martial law. With DHS oversight currently furloughed due to a budget battle, it's very likely ICE murders more people to provoke an armed response (or false flag it) and Trump declares martial law. It's flimsy but probably the only thing he can do.

he might. the first MAGA hats were introduced in 2015. this would make them almost 11 years old.

I hear he likes fucking 11 year olds so...

I don't believe he's ever worn a hat ... not for several decades, at least.

Wearing a hat would imperil that very fragile-looking shit on his head that passes for hair.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

I mean that's a funny joke and all, but like there's so so many pictures of him wearing hats recently too.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

He regularly wears hats

hes trying to make congressional action as being legitamate over states in how elections are run.

[–] whelk@retrolemmy.com 5 points 1 month ago

I will seek to require him to go away

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

States' rights, removed!

Who cares what Donald wants? He don’t run elections.
