I had a dream last night that Trump won the election and civil unrest erupted across the US. Riots spread like wildfire in all major American cities, the FBI were arresting people weekly on suspicion of assassination plots. It got to the point where he was traveling in total secrecy because he couldn't go outside without violent protest erupting. By Christmas he announced he was declining to take the oath of office which set off a Constitutional crisis. His people claimed that because the Constitution does not specifically say the POTUS must take the oath to become president, just that he has to be elected, that as president-elect, Trump's "resignation" automatically passes the baton to Pence who is then eligible to serve Trump's whole first term and then run for re-election. However, the Constitution does say that if the POTUS doesn't take his oath, he is unable to execute his office, so the whole thing got thrown into the Supreme Court which came down with a split 4-4 decision on whether Pence could serve or a new election had to be called. For the first time in American history, the foundational law of the land failed to maintain the non-violent transfer of power and everything descended into chaos.
