At what point does the "no vote" have legal implications for the validity of the US government authority? If 'did not vote' reaches 90% then are there any established legal routes for dissolving the executive branch or at a bare minimum invalidating the results? Seems like even at the current rate the US population would be justified in killing every single person in office

>>532310082Who would have written such a thing up and signed it into legislation? At what time in history do you think the US would believably do so?
This is why we need an ephorate. The ephors would be directly elected by the people and would be able to call a constitutional convention at any time.
>>532310082It's all theoretical of course but I'm going to say anything less than 23% is definitely grounds to personally and collectively start to consider the system illegitimate.
>>532311295I guess I should have stated that anything more than 77%
>>532310082The popular vote isn't how presidents are elected. The electoral college is the group actually voting. The popular vote is technically just swaying the electors on how to vote. Any informal vote of no confidence by the population would be beyond the scope of the constitution.
>>532310082Reminder that MANY other countries legitimately already have this - if no single candidate wins 51% or so then it goes to an automatic runoff, and if there's still no winner then they have to form a coalition government in order to be in control.And if that coalition falls apart, then there's an immediate snap election, meaning Big Fat Donald would have been out of office for months by now, just like Liz Truss in the UK.
>>532310082>the US population would be justified in killing every single person in officeThis is what most Americans want and are one terminal illness diagnosis, job loss, or project failure away from doing.
>>532310082All the no voters could have stopped this by simply writing a name.
>>532310082It doesn't. The democrats counting the votes will just submit an extra ballot and cross your name off the list.
