You know what would be the all time troll of liberals?
The house blinks and picks Pence
Who after being selected
Names Trump his VP.
OK. It's early. Just a nutty thought that made me chuckle inside

Anything short of Trump being inaugurated Friday Jan 20th like every other president before him and this country melts down. Those pussy arse liberals think they rioted, they don't know shite about it.

Trump is FDR. People who support his economic policy are pussy arse liberals.

You have no idea what Trump is. You're trying to bend this into a win for you but the fact is the kunt you supported lost and will never run this country and that is a giant win for America.

I'm confused...what is even the remote possibility that Trump is not inaugurated in January?
What tricks are libs up to?
Also, I have to say, people talk a big game, but there would be no rioting or civil disturbance
they would take it and deal with it.
Not saying it should happen, but all the talk about blood in the streets is just that, talk.

I know we're supposing here so I'll suppose that would never happen because I suppose Trump would never accept being number two.

I don't think that matches what the 12th Amendment says.
"The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate.
The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.
The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.[Note 1]
The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.[1]"
So, I think the House can elect a president but the Senate elects the VP.

Election of 1796
Results[edit]
"Tennessee was admitted into the United States after the 1792 election, increasing the Electoral College to 138 electors.
Under the system in place in 1796, electors were to cast votes for two persons. Both votes were for president; the runner-up in the presidential race was elected vice-president (this was prior to the passage of the Twelfth Amendment, which, in accommodating the notion of running mate, required that electors cast separate ballots for president and vice president). Each party intended to manipulate the results by having some of their electors cast one vote for the intended presidential candidate and one vote for somebody besides the intended vice-presidential candidate, leaving their vice-presidential candidate a few votes shy of their presidential candidate. Unfortunately, these schemes were complicated by several factors:
All electoral votes were cast on the same day, and communications between states were extremely slow at that time, making it very difficult to coordinate which electors were to manipulate their vote for vice-president.
There were rumors that southern electors pledged to Jefferson were coerced by Alexander Hamilton to give their second vote to Pinckney in hope of electing him president instead of Adams. Indeed, as it turned out, all eight electors in Pinckney's home state of South Carolina, as well as at least one elector in Pennsylvania, cast ballots for both Jefferson and Pinckney. Despite these extra votes, they were overwhelmed by at least 20 Adams electors who failed to cast their other vote for Pinckney.
The result was that Adams was elected president while his opponent, Jefferson, was elected vice-president."

A big mess.
Adams and Jefferson, fast friends during and after the Revolution became bitter political enemies.
I can't recomend highly enough the HBO mini-series "John Adams"; it is really awesome and Jefferson is portrayed by the same actor who played Stannis Baratheon in Game of Thrones.

There were no pussy arse liberals when these things were passed. These things were passed by great liberal democrats working for the betterment of this nation.
Those liberal democrats died out with JFK and you can thank George Soros for ushering in the pussification of the liberal democrats of today.
