The Chinese are easy to bait because they are hyper-competitive to the point of being incapable of cooperation.

Read their stories or pay attention to how they play in games. They are a whole society of "if you aint first, you're last."

That means they will always and invariably take any opportunity that presents itself to crush their opponent - or something their opponent owns. They will do it with such reliability that it is like a law.

So - you be sure to have plenty of claymores set up and they will waltz through an open field with a mine flail to decimate a straw man…. While your artillery gets ready to turn their rear guard inside out.

Nothing in the Constitution says he can't.

There again, our founders largely anticipated we would have taken care of this problem decades ago - so while they understood the threat, the question of how to deal with it, procedurally, at this point is vague and the very problem that needs to be addressed is corruption/subversion of legal procedure.

The only way this resolves is through military tribunals if you ask me - bring out the intercepts, prove who is guilty of treason, corruption, or just plain stupidity - and dole out the consequences as necessary. Then… Have elections?

… We are kind of in uncharted territory, here. Almost no instance in history has a military government not been a part of a coupe and how you return from that to a constitutional republic after that republic has been damn near dissolved…. Is a bit hard to envision.
