Before the presidential elections in the United States, one prediction turned out to be true, despite the fact that the market price analysis of the main American media was inconsistent.
It is the prospect that it will be very difficult to see the prompt electoral confirmation and the consequent speech of honorable victory by a rival candidate.
As Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden emphasized the need to view the results of the vote-by-mail through an unscheduled speech on the 4th (local time), it can take days or weeks. This is because a lawsuit requiring a recount is unavoidable if a gap appears between the two candidates when all the pre-voting results are collected. In the presidential election four years ago, the winner of the election was decided early the day after the vote.
If Candidate Biden filed a lawsuit requesting a full recount or voiding part of the mail-in ballot due to the election, the decision on the election outcome is delayed until the court ruling is issued and the new president is inaugurated. It is scheduled for January 20 of next year. It may be impossible.
However, if federal law is applied in relation to the objection complaint, it is highly likely that the lawsuit against the recount and pre-vote override filed by each camp will be effectively rescinded on December 8. This is because the Federal Supreme Court will close presidential election cases before this point, focusing on the December 8 calendar in which each state electorate is elected. Then, on the 14th of the same month, the electoral body of each state can meet and vote for the winners of each state’s presidential election, and the new president can take office on January 20 after the parliamentary vote is passed on January 6. January next year.
Also, if some states fail to establish an electoral group by December 8, the House of Representatives elects the President and the Senate elects the Vice President. The United States Constitution requires the House of Representatives to choose the next president when a clear winner is not determined in a presidential election.
This is a method in which the House delegation, one per state, determines the winner by majority. Furthermore, if the House of Representatives does not elect a new president, the vice president chosen by the Senate will temporarily act as presidential authority until the new president is elected.
If the vice president-elect has not been elected, the speaker of the House of Representatives will act temporarily as president. Even if the number of electoral groups secured by each party is tied at 269-269, the same procedure will be followed.
Meanwhile, the 435 members of the House of Representatives with a two-year term in office are recently elected through presidential elections that day.
Republicans and President Trump could never favor the method of deciding a new owner of the White House in the House system, which would not yet lose its majority status after the presidential election.
