PRESERVING MAJORITY RULE

It's a new era in American presidential politics: the minority rules. That is the effect of the antiquated and naively conceived Electoral College. Our forefathers had tunnel vision. They could not see the road beyond. They wanted an expedient way to handle local problems and forgot about future generations. (They had similar myopia on the Second Amendment.)

We all know Biden will win the popular vote. Yes, Hillary should have been President. See what the mistake has wrought.

But it looks like Trump will win the Electoral College vote by hook or crook.

How do we preserve democracy? Biden must unilaterally decide, as President, that Trump is ineligible to hold office under the 14th Amendment. We all know the amendment is silent as to enforceability. The partisan Trump court has decided Congress must act to enforce the declaration of ineligibility. We say, nay, the Executive branch enforces. Biden then, in a heroic, monumentally courageous act to preserve democracy, defies the Supreme Court and orders Trump off the Whitehouse lawn.

Biden can then resign and turn leadership over to Kamala Harris. History will remember Biden as one of America's greatest heroes, the elder statesman who saved democracy.
