Oh Lawdy, Lawdy! The King is going to change the way we vote!
And then he’s going to dismiss the Senate! Then he’s going to calm the fuck down and get a grip or he will exhaust himself punching at the air. What do you suppose will happen to an Administration with blood in their eyes out to fight everybody about everything?
To change the way we vote, the King would need to change the Constitution to do that. How long could that take? Five or ten years? Elections are the responsibility of the States. You remember, those precious state’s rights Republicans are always burbling on about. Let the states decide, they said, unless they don’t like the decision, then they like Washington’s intervention.
So, the King would soon find himself in a quandary. Convince the states, including Republican bastions to cede their power and authority to Washington. To give up their power unilaterally with nothing offered in return. You better send your best salesman on that call. You’d have to be a pretty dim bulb to do something like that. I’m not saying it couldn’t happen, this is Merica! The states would still run the elections only the orders would come from Washington. Everyone who wants another boss to answer to, raise your hand!
The other option, the less likely and more frightening option. Would be if the King goes full Adolph on us and tries something stupid. While the stupid part is easy enough to visualize. It’s probably not a good idea to overthrow the Constitutional government while you’re still new on the job. Besides, we haven’t even had a Reichstag fire yet. Just sayin, that’s all. If you’re going to follow the man’s book, follow the damn book.
Dismiss the Senate? How exactly would one go about doing that? Call each Senator one by one, and tell them politely they are dismissed? Or ring a bell like school and make an announcement over the PA? “Attention, attention all Senators! You’re all dismissed! Effective immediately! By order of the King!” But just hypothetically speaking there is no legal instrument for the King to dismiss the Senate. There is however a legal instrument to remove a King through the United States Senate. Be careful who you bloviate at your majesty.
24 months and counting until the midterms king.
48 months until the court cases resume king.
