This is the discussion I was talking about last week. It has nothing to do with this week’s topic, but it has to do with problem solving techniques as studied in an earlier lesson. This topic is not directly related to psychology, but it is something to think about because this is unprecedented. You have an opportunity to show me how you are taking in the material and able to apply it to real world situations. Here is the bonus question for bonus points to apply to the exams portion of your grade this semester:
In a recent newspaper article (Believe it was the New York Times as an op-ed), the editor discussed the recent audits in Maricopa County Arizona on the last presidential election. This audit is now complete, but the editor stated if Arizona found there was fraudulent activity in the election, and other states are now pursuing an audit of their own. If enough states find enough discrepancy in the election process and can prove President Biden did NOT win the election, but it was former President Trump, the editor was stating this would have to go to the US Supreme Court for consideration. The issue is how would the US Supreme Court rule?
Further information to help you in this process is there is no current Constitutional amendment to address this. So the US Supreme court could not rule based on a law that does not exist. The 25th amendment to the Constitution was not implemented till after the assassination of President John F Kennedy, so this is a matter that needs to be addressed for the future. The editor goes on to explain that the former president could not take the office back, yet the current president and vice president could not retain office based on fraud. Being that’s the place and the third in command is the speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi would assume charge on a temporary basis because her election to the speakership would also be in question on a fraudulent election as well.
Based on all this information, and I want you to provide some inside information and citations to help you with this, how would you solve this problem if you were in the US Supreme court? Use your skills as learned in the lessons. You may have a simple answer, but remember an established chain of command of power needs to remain in place during all this. There’s your key.
This is bonus points. I have not established a set point for this, but will add these to the exams at the end of the semester. Also remember, there is no correct answer to this as well so your points will be based on proof, citations and problem solving skills learned and discussed in this post. No responses are necessary to each other. Have fun with this. Due on Monday night 7/5/21 because of the holiday weekend this coming weekend. I do want you to enjoy a little time off for the holiday.
