"The president and I want to get to the moon in this president's term" - Sean Duffy NASA administrator.

A scary way to set a schedule on a complex project with lives at stake. They don't care though.

The silver lining is that they are operating under the assumption that he will leave office at the conclusion of his term.

Which will backfire spectacularly when Obama is re-elected.

You can’t get elected if you don’t count the votes. That requires a joint session of congress. If due to an unprecedented emergency the congress cannot come into session there’s no clear rule what happens.

Any number of emergent events may create an emergency preventing the congress from gathering. The congress are collaborators and the Supreme Court is compromised.

If that happens then Trump doesn't get to stay president, the 20th amendment means his term ends regardless.

The 5th Amendment means everyone has the right to due process, but it means nothing if the government refuses to adhere to it.

We're currently seeing people being denied due process as a matter of federal policy all over the US.

Yeah, and who's going to force the issue? The minute someone kicks over a trashcan it'll be declared as the latest national emergency and the loyal forces of law and order will be told to terminate whiny radicals in sight. Would you have believed anyone who told you five years ago that there would be masked federal cops snatching people off the street in broad daylight by 2025?
