Many on the right have been propagating the lie that to remove Trump from office would be to ‘overturn’ the 2016 General Election.
This is as ignorant as it is wrong.
Presidents are not elected by the people – they’re elected by the states. The states have the authority to elect a president and they have the authority to remove a president from office.
And as the body representing the states, the Senate has the authority to remove Trump from office; the states (the Senate) removing Trump from office is not ‘interference’ because it was the states that elected Trump president in 2016.
Then there’s this desperate sophistry from the right:
‘Cipollone said removing Trump and taking him off the ballot in November would mean having to “tear up all of the ballots across this country on your own initiative, take that decision away from the American people.”’
Defense at Senate trial says ousting Trump would be 'massive interference' in election
This fails as a red herring fallacy.
