Larry Lessig: Hillary Could Still Be President If It’s Proven There Was a Russian Conspiracy to Steal the Election

RUSH EXCERPT:

LESSIG: "And I think the fundamental point that if you steal the election, you have to give it back, is something we all should be able to agree upon. I don’t know why there should be much argument about that. All I was trying to explain is one of the steps that would actually happen if this was the first thing that happen? Number one, if it is shown without doubt that there was a conspiracy to steal, which is different from lots of other reasons you might impeach a president. This is a very particular one, the president should resign. If the president to resign, so too share the vice president resigned, and if that happens that under the presidential succession statute, Paul Ryan becomes president. That’s where the hard question comes. Should Ryan remain president as somebody who has inherited because of this theft, or should he do what I think is actually the moral thing to do, the right thing to do, which is to correct for the theft. He could correct the theft very easily under the 25th amendment by nominating a Democrat, Hillary Clinton, to be his vice president and then step aside. It’s a speculation based on the question that was presented to me hundreds — not hundreds of times, I’m a law professor, tens of times."
