Rep. Jamie Raskin cited a need for legislative changes and altering the structure of American elections to prevent people from 'seizing' the presidency post-Trump on MSNBC's 'All in with Chris Hayes' on Friday.
What they're saying:
“Obviously we’re going to need some legislative changes to the criminal code to account for now the possibility of presidents just taking a headlong rush at seizing the presidency,” Raskin said. He noted that there are already federal statutes in existence that serve this purpose, such as seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to interfere with a federal proceeding.
“We have to look at the way that the electoral system itself is vulnerable to strategic bad faith actors like Donald Trump,” he continued. "The electoral college is an accident waiting to happen and we have to deal with that at some point in American history and why not now."
