It reads a bit like a silly fanfic, but it definitely could happen.
It's a little worrying that any President has this power, but trying it and failing would be political suicide, and would potentially end in serious sedition charges.
I don't know if Trump would actually dare to cross the Rubicon, but he seems to at least be willing to fight the results as long as he can.
Trump will most likely never formally concede, but that by itself means nothing.
He has the following, and the backing, but the question is if he has the balls to try,and if he could win after trying it.
This is the nuclear option and I hope the launch button doesn't have to be hit
If you had told me that governors would use a minor section of the Public Health Code as it relates to infectious disease control to shutter most of the economy I would have also thought it would be "political suicide". Yet here we are having just re-elected a bunch of governors who did just that.
For whatever reason the old rules don't seem to be applying to 2020.
Yes, the presidency shouldn't have that power, but I don't think he'd really try for that. He'd be better off leading a Civil Disobedience campaign in the US of anti-lockdown, pro-sanctuary governors and states that refuse to comply with the Biden Administration's mandates.
