    So if the courts who are the actual constitutional check said Biden could run you would support Trump stopping him?

      The courts aren’t the check in the case we’re talking about, the jury is.

        Im talking about SCOTUS and the federal courts. Those Courts are the check on the executive branch. The executive branch is not the check on itself.

        Even if we were talking about a jury that would still ge part of the courts

          Neither scotus nor the federal courts can bring charges, only oversee trials for said charges, or in the case of scotus, determine whether laws are constitutional and were followed during trial.*

          Therefore the executive, as has always been it’s role would have to bring charges.

          • Obviously courts can bring contempt charges, but only during and after a trial.
