This explains it nicely.

What's interesting, the president's term is up at noon on the 20th of January 2021. If no one has qualified as president by that time, the Speaker of the House would serve as acting president until someone has qualified as president. The article explains fully. In this case, it very well could be the current Speaker Pelosi.

Regardless of all the scenarios provided, election or no election, Trump's and Pence's terms are up at noon, 20 Jan 2021. There's no way they could continue to serve.

There's no way the Supreme Court would protect Trump's tax returns either. Federal Law grants the House the right to carry out investigations and do not protect the president from them.
It appears the Supreme Court has just changed the law where it applies to Trump. Apparently NO laws apply to the current president.

If Donald Trump takes a notion to stay in office there are simply no laws that can stop him. There are no courts that can stop him.

Donald Trump, his family, his friends, and his business are fully above the law.

Yep, that's what the Bernie or Bust types unleashed on us (among other culprits). That's what happens when our courts get 280 judges and 2 justices (more to come) appointed by Trump. That's what the people who threw a tantrum and defected have created. I've been warning people about this since early 2016, and if you look at the string of lower and higher court decisions of late, you'll see the damage in full force.

But, you know, immature Millennials thought that it would be fun to throw a tantrum.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Right. Blame everybody but the Democrats. Son, it's the Democrats that lost the election. And they wanna blame non-democrats for their loss?

Elections are about turnout. Trump excited Republicans and they came out and voted in all the right places.

Hillary did not excite the democratic base or much of anybody else and she lost the election. Don't be pointing your finger at me and my friends because your horse lost the race.

Your horse might very well lose the race again and again you can blame everybody else for your party's failings at the polls.

And I will laugh.

My horse lost the race because you guys backed the wrong horse (among some other reasons, sure, but this reason was sufficient in itself).

All together we would have defeated Trump. You guys decided to throw a tantrum, so, now, don't complain of Trump. You guys lost that right because you brought it upon yourselves (and upon us all).

I didn't get your part about Democrats. What non-democrats am I blaming? That I know, your horse ran as a Democrat (twice; not that he didn't whine all the time about the very Democratic rules he signed on, when he asked the party to allow him to run as a Democrat).

Projected, who loses and who wins confessional seats after the 2020 census and reapportionment.

Interesting that California is projected to lose one seat while Texas gains 3 and Florida 2. This will be the first time since California became a state it would lose a seat. Montana gaining one is a mild surprise to me, but none of the others. Some earlier projections had New York losing two

Interesting polling results here.

"New polls show trouble for Trump and Republicans in GOP strongholds"

But the polling firms who took these aren't known for having the best reliable results.

Now I agree with the Arizona results, Biden does have a good lead there and Democratic Kelly is the favorite to win Arizona's senate seat currently held by McSally.

But other polls show Trump expanding his lead in Texas, Trump is slightly ahead in Georgia with the two senate seats leaning Republican. My advice here is to wait until more reliable polling firms either confirm or show different results.

Other polling firms have confirmed Arizona, but not Texas nor Georgia. FYI.

I voted for Hillary. Backed her from start to finish. I don't care that much for Bernie. Point remains. If Democrats want to elect a Democrat they need to make that Democrat appealing enough that they get a majority of the votes.

When they don't, they always blame somebody else. Usually left leaning independents because we owe them our votes for some reason.

Good for you. I mistakenly thought you were a Bernie fan.

Feck Bernie. He's one of us but the movement doesn't depend on him.

I'm a Liz Bro. For the same reason I love Hilary. She's a social democrat at heart but has never had the word attached to her. The primaries showed us that we still don't have the numbers to win at the polls, but we have enough influence to affect policy. I kind of like playing a stealth game.

Joe and Liz are talking. I'm over the moon. That would be one of the stealthiest moves in gamingpolitics EVER!

A built in and popular progressive candidate for 2024.
