2. If he is impeached and removed or simply loses and refuses to leave, arrest him.

The Secret Service would be within their rights to simply grab him and incarcerate him as a trespassing threat to the duly elected president on January 22, 2021 (or as soon as the president-elect is sworn in).

If the GOP refused to seat the Electoral College, then the government would cease to exist as a functioning body and we would be in a truly uncharted place...at which time assassinations, coup d'etats, mass incarcerations and "disappearances" and all number of unthinkable actions become likely or possible.

Trump has shown just how thin the veneer of civility in our government really is...he is willing to break the whole thing to prevent others from taking it back...are we willing to break him off at the knees to prevent it is the question. The GOP is clearly NOT up to the task, period.
