While most of the electorate believes that the president-elect will be handed the keys to the White House on Jan 20, 2017, others are still holding out hope that the Electoral College (EC), which meets on Dec 19, 2016, could still disqualify him, preventing him from becoming the 45th president of the United States.
Below are 13 reasons that the EC should deliberate on, because being guilty of any of them would make any candidate, but particularly him, ineligible to hold the nation’s top office. He has:
1) never acknowledged Barack Obama as the legitimate president of the United States; was primary proponent of birther movement.
2) refused to accept the legitimacy of the 2016 election, including refusal to accept the results, unless he emerged victorious.
3) alleged before the election that the election was rigged. This included unsubstantiated allegations, after the election, that at least 3 million people had voted illegally.
4) accused President Obama of being a secret Muslim, who supported terrorism including claiming that the president was a supporter of Al Qaeda and the founder of ISIS.
5) campaigned in support of violating U.S. and international law by endorsing waterboarding and even harsher forms of torture.
