They can't elect him this way any more than they could elect another 5-year old child (a literal one). He's not eligible to run for president so he can't be elected; not by the people, not by the electors and not by the House. Also, the word "contingent" isn't in the Constitution.

tl;dr: Dershowitz's theory here is that if a presidential election goes to the House, as it did in 1800, then the president would be "selected" by the state delegations, not "elected." It's that stupid.

Now is not the time for sadness. Anger is appropriate. Immigrants are not illegal. The Brownshirts are illegal. Document events, convince local police to identify local state laws violated, document the Brownshirts for future prosecution.

Please read every word of this article, and please pass it on. We need to understand the day to day reality of what’s happening, and know how to help. It is no exaggeration to say that the United States is under occupation, and we are in the beginning stages of another Underground Railroad.

The Bundy occupation at Malheur in early 2016 (and the lack of consequences they faced for it) was a sign of what was to come. Right wing white anti-government vigilantes cast as “patriots.”

Members of Congress should act for the interests of the American public—not for their personal financial gain.

That's why House members need to advance the bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act, which would finally end congressional stock trading.
