Article XII and Amendment III: the two forgotten provisions of the Constitution.
OK, but would an executive just overturn all that immediately? Can a President just overrule the Supreme Court by signing a piece of paper?
No. The President can’t just overturn the Supreme Court.
I’m just responding to that. My understanding of executive orders is that they can be objections to current laws, or suggestions as to how they are carrried out, or adding some things to that, but they don’t have any weight, unless they are about something to do with national security. The President can order the National Guard in, but he can’t overturn existing law and precedent.

Natural-born U.S. citizens may not have their citizenship revoked against their will, since birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, but they may choose to renounce their citizenship on their own.
Under the 14th Am. at the time she was born, Harris is a natural born citizen. Trump can’t alter that.
Imagine the chaos if you could just “uncitizen” every single person who was born on US soil.
OK, back to what I thought. THere are certain things that a President could technically do that no President has ever done before and that has never been tested, oh damn I can’t think of the specific thing, I am sure it had to do with national security. Was it Truman and something about nationalizing the banks, or industry?
If he could, you know he’d have tried to do it to Obama by now.
Obama is partly what I am thinking about, he signed an order about DACA, and it did have some real world affects, can’t remember the details. Executive orders aren’t always totally meaningless
“Stop the Steal” protesters in Atlanta today were threatening to destroy the Republican Party in Georgia, and boycott the Senate elections, or else write in Individual 1. I don’t see this is a lose at all.
Hell no it’s not a lose. I’ve been hoping since election day in 2016 that Trump would splinter the Republican Party. I thought, and predicted that it would be because of his general imcompetence, but this may be even better. I think there is, to use a common pharse lately on this board, a less than zero possibilty that many Republican voters will not turn out in 2024, because their vote will be wasted. Bring it on, fucking Proud Boys.
I support this, but I have a question:
Since both of these are runoff elections between the top two vote-getters, will there even be a spot to enter a name for a write-in?
As much weight, in terms of EOs, as Biden’s EO reversing it.
I can’t speak to GA’s laws, but here in Washington we do top-two open primaries and write-ins are certainly an option in the general. Both candidates for lieutenant governor this year were Democrats, so the Republicans urged their voters to vote for a write-in candidate (who, of course, only got 20% of the vote and came in third).
Steel seizure case:
Sorry, I’m only finding this on a Fox website.
Tom Posnanski, the elections commissioner of Milwaukee County, is claiming that the Individual 1 poll watchers are acting in bad faith and actually interfering with the recount.
Here’s an AP story:
They should have had a third picture of Gov Newsom at the French Laundry.
To fill both Senate seats?
Priceless.
It seems he did not sign an executive order, just announced it with a TV address, for national security reasons. In any case, it didn’t work.
The Individual 1 campaign has asked for another recount on Georgia.
