A problem with a HartmannCoup: house reps committing treason to stage the coup would need a pardon from a sitting #POTUS.
Thus the house reps trying a HartmannCoup would need to be in the same party as the sitting POTUS.
This could happen in Jan 2029 if #Trump wins in 2024.
If Harris wins and Dems take the house in 2024 then a HartmannCoup seems unlikely.
#TrumpVsDemocracy
I doubt a #HartmannCoup would happen in Jan 2025 if Dems win #POTUS and the house.
Harmann's article
https://hartmannreport.com/p/the-new-over-the-top-secret-plan-518
was written before the #SCOTUS ruling of 2024-7-1 which granted a sitting POTUS absolute power.
Biden would stop a HartmannCoup if Harris won legally.
He could have the coup members arrested for treason.
However if #Trump wins legally in 2024 then he might try a HartmannCoup in Jan 2029 to keep himself out of prison.
#TrumpVsDemocracy
I call it the #HartmannCoup

How 45 regains Presidency in 2 steps (without winning): 1 - Speaker refuses to swear in enough Democrats, keeping GOP control of House, bypassing voters. 2 - State certifications denied / Congress refuses electoral votes, preventing any candidate from reaching 270. House then decides presidency, bypassing voters. Prevention: - Undeniable landslide popular vote against GOP candidate. - Widespread awareness of this plan, making it clear people won't tolerate it. https://hartmannreport.com/p/the-new-over-the-top-secret-plan-518
