It would mean he couldn’t be punished for it. It wouldn’t mean his attempt at taking over the country would be successful. That said, we want to make it so there’s an actual punishment for that so presidents don’t just keep trying.

If Trump won, it would mean Joe Biden could declare himself president for life, since his presidential immunity would protect him from any consequences of ignoring elections.

I’d be on board with proclaiming Biden President for Life, it’s probably only a two or three years term at most
