AS long as everybody is dead, nobody is dead. I get it.

If everyone is affected, they can remedy it at the ballot box, or by lobbying Congress. Courts are not supposed to run the country.

If everybody is dead it makes it difficult for them to lobby anybody. By then the damage is done. Once an election is over, DC jubilantly yells, “SUCKAS!!!” and then does whatever it darn well pleases for the next 2-4 years. Lawless. Is that really how the Founders meant to curb the “absolute corruption” they knew was inevitable when the people have no recourse to get justice or to see the rule of law enforced?

Courts are supposed to interpret and apply the Constitution, which is never allowed to be overturned, changed, or violated by a mere election.

You do affirm that, don’t you? A mere election is never allowed to violate the US Constitution which says that a President elect (one who has jumped through all the political hoops of both the vote and the certification of the electoral vote and been declared the electoral winner) who has “failed to qualify” by the beginning of his term may not act as President. Do you agree?

Who is responsible to apply and enforce the 20th Amendment - after the voters and Congress are all done with their election responsibilities? (Hint: it can’t be either the voters or Congress, because their Constitutionally-prescribed roles are done at that point.) Exactly who does the Constitution give responsibility to interpret and apply the US Constitution? Through what procedures and means?
