What will happen if Trump loses the election, but refuses to leave office? I know it would create a constitutional crisis, but… Will we be in for a civil war based on political ideology? Should the Secret Service physically remove Trump from the White House? Will the president declare martial law and if so, would there be mass incarceration of political opponents and journalists? Will something else happen?
Please respond!
Whether or not he refuses to leave doesn't really matter. Constitutionally, any powers he has will disappear at the end of his term. If he somehow manages to wield power after that, it will only be through others in government following and enabling him, and would be a coup.
