President Donald Trump seeks to question the election results he lost to his Democratic rival Joe Biden, who began shaping his administration by announcing the name of the next White House chief of staff.
The controversy continues over the results of the US elections, which was not without conflicting opinions from legal professionals, as some say that US President Donald Trump will try to reverse the election results under the pretext of fraud.
Among them is conservative attorney John Yu, who told CNBC that Trump has the right to bring legal cases, but this attempt is deemed “legally desperate to reverse the election results.”
The Trump campaign began filing lawsuits in six US states, where it managed in one of them, Georgia, to obtain a ruling for a full recount, after Biden advanced by only 14,000 votes.
These lawsuits are seen as an attempt by the Trump campaign to invalidate the ballots issued to Democratic candidate Joe Biden, on allegations of postal ballot fraud.
However, Yu believes that these problems are unlikely to reverse the outcome and win the election in favor of Trump.
The constitutional process
Concerning the constitutional aspect, Yu affirms that the president cannot circumvent the constitution after his term ends, as officially decided by the state electoral votes on December 14.
Yu responded to the question of what would happen if the president refused to resign, saying, “He may never give up and should not give up,” adding that “the United States Constitution does not in fact require that the current president does nothing one way or another. ” Trump’s term ends on January 20 and I think Joe Biden’s term will begin. “
According to the 20th amendment to the constitution, the candidate with the most votes becomes president at 12:00 noon on January 20, while the current president’s term ends that day, just before noon.
“The president can say that I will not leave, I will not give in, but at noon on January 20 he will not be president, and all the loyalty of the government, the army and the public administration will become the winner of the November 3 elections, which I think will be Joe Biden, “Yu added.
“After that, President Donald Trump will become an ordinary citizen, regardless of what Donald Trump does,” said the American lawyer.
The US network “NBC” has learned of a growing sentiment among Trump’s advisers that he will never yield to Biden, even if all the ballots across the country are approved in the next few weeks.
And on the chances of Trump winning a court against Biden, Yu said the probability of that is up to 10 percent or less, adding: “We have not seen a vote count before in the presidential election that led to the heart from 10,000 to 20,000 votes in all states. “
Yu explained that Trump should reverse the results in more than one state, which is “highly unlikely,” according to the American lawyer.
It should be noted that the Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, has so far obtained the votes of 290 large voters of the 538 that make up the presidential electoral college, while Trump has guaranteed 217 votes.
