"The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January..."

If Trump is not re-elected he becomes a private citizen at that moment.

Do you really think there are members of our armed forces who would volunteer to be court martialed for surrounding the White House based on the orders of a private citizen who isn't their Commander in Chief?

I know quite a few high-level folks in the military & what I hear from them is first, they're all tired of Trump, & second, there's no way officers would allow anything like that to happen.

We just need to GOTV & kick Trump out of the White House!
