The End of American Democracy: Legally and Constitutionally Reinstating Donald Trump to the Presidency in January 2023

By Winthrop Chiselwit

Had the Republican Party won the 2022 midterm election to become the majority in the Senate, they could have ended democracy in America forever. This short e-book details the likely strategy the Republican Party might have implemented after the election to legally and constitutionally reinstate Donald Trump to the presidency as soon as January 2023. Once back in the White House, President Trump would have suspended all Constitutional provisions for future federal elections, making himself President-for-life and empanelling a compliant senate to rubber stamp his every decision. The only way to avoid this nightmare scenario is for Democrats, traditional Republicans, and democracy-loving Independents to vote from now on so as to prevent the Republican Party from ever regaining control of Congress.

Introduction

What follows is a cautionary tale. The outcome has not yet happened, but in the atmosphere of our national hyper-partisanship, unless it is prevented, it will almost certainly happen. Going forward, any political party that captures control of Congress can permanently seize power by exploiting a loophole unwittingly created during the Civil War.

Historically, the American electorate has long favored divided government and the separation of powers; placing the legislative branch in the hands of one party and the executive in the other practically achieves the checks and balances our constitutional system promises. But it has now become necessary to consider dividing power within the legislative branch itself, allocating between the two parties, so as to ensure that the democracy-killing loophole is never triggered. Specifically, the Republican Party, or any party bent on subverting the Constitution or the will of the people, cannot ever be allowed to become the majority in the United States Senate, especially if they also control either the House of Representatives or the White House, as the Senate holds and can thus exploit the loophole. Only through high-turnout voting in the 2022 midterm elections, as well as future elections, can we ensure that the Senate does not become the means by which the American experiment in democracy finally ends. I tell the cautionary tale precisely so it never comes to pass, prevented by the deliberate action of an informed electorate.

I am a nobody and yet also an everyman. As an ardent student of history, I have personally witnessed the ebb and flow of political power in America over the last 50 years, and I can attest that we as a nation have never been in as much danger of losing our democracy as we are right now. The upcoming 2022 midterm election may very well be the last one, so if you value our democracy and your individual right to vote, then you must exercise that right before it vanishes forever.
