This, from a former and respected Secretary of Labor in the Clinton Administration, shows how far Anti-Trump psychoses go. There is no such thing in the Constitution as "annulling a Presidency." One cannot rewrite history any more than demolishing a statue of Robert E. Lee brings racial justice to America or restores the 600,000 killed in the Civil War.

These formerly revered people have truly "jumped the shark" and can no longer be taken seriously. They are still screaming from their bad dream in November 2016, when they collectively convinced themselves that "Trump could not be elected."

Well he was. Deal with it, through sublimation, therapy or otherwise.
Although I understand where Reich is coming from, sadly, the Constitution does not allow for it; however, we do have the option of creating a constitutional amendment in response to the Trump presidency.

And somehow 3/4 of the states are going to be in favor of whatever that Amendment is?

TDS is real. So many of you anti-Trumps allow him to live rent free in your heads 24/7.

I strongly dislike Obama yet I got on with my life and didn't let him live in my head. In fact, I paid as little attention to him as possible.

Spot on. Because the Democrats cannot win with American voters, their entire strategy for winning elections is to import as many people from third world countries as possible, put them on the welfare rolls and expand their voting rolls.

^^^^This. The other way is through voter fraud. So if they can get enough illegals to vote along with people voting multiple times, miscounting votes, and dead people voting, they may win.

Guys, first of all he never said the constitution mentions annulling a presidency. Second, he's discussing a hypothetical. There is no grounds to annul Trump's presidency right now and he never said there was.

On the other hand, the constitution doesn't specify what shall be done in the case that it's determined that a president was elected on the basis of fraud. So given the hypothetical case that fraud was involved, then it stands to reason the perpetrator of said fraud is not a legitimate president. Allowing him to serve out his term would be like allowing a surgeon who turns out to be a phony to continue operating on patients. It obviously should not be allowed. In fact, you can't name a single other profession where a known fraud is allowed to continue to function in a critical field.

Futhermore, any laws he created during his term and any judges he elected would also have been based on this fraud and would need to be revoked.

Common, guys. It's common sense. You may argue there's no reason to annul Trump, but you can't disagree with the logic that a presidency should be annulled if it turns out the election was rigged.

Or are you guys afraid of something?

We can't annul Trump's Presidency, nor should we. We need to learn from our mistakes, and an annulment would prevent that.
If Trump is only guilty of crimes unrelated to Russia, then it would be up to the next President using standard procedure to push to change laws/policies that Trump enacted.

If Trump is found to have colluded with the Russians in an attempt to win the election, then maybe we can do more.
What Reich is calling for isn't feasible, but I think that anyone who Trump appointed (including Supreme Court) should be forced to resign (they should do so willingly if they believe in Democracy). If Trump colluded with a foreign adversary, than none of his appointments should be valid. The next President could take normal steps to change policies and laws that Trump put in place.
