Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump during one
of the presidential debates
There is a petition claiming Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the president of the United State as he won the US presidential election conducted on 8th November 2016 and now the Electoral Cllege is urging that Hillary Clinton should be made the president also three million signatures has already been signed in respect to the bill.
Ever since the US presidential election victory of Donald Trump, so many American citizens have protested and against the outcome of the result and also causing riots across the United State of America.
Now an online petition has been set up to demand the Electoral College, who still have to cast their votes to cement the billionaire’s presidency, go against the will of the people and elect Clinton president instead.
The petition on Change.org is demanding the Electoral College, which is made up of party members elected by local people to represent them in Congress, take advantage of this constitutional loophole.
The petition, which was created by Elijah Berg, states: "Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic."
He added: "Hillary won the popular vote. The only reason Trump "won" is because of the Electoral College."
The petition, which urges electors to ignore their states’ vote, looks set to reach the 4.5 million signatures mark in the coming days.
Even after the electorate has voted, the Electoral College are given another vote to determine who becomes president because of a loophole in the US Constitution.
The Electoral College is set to meet on December 19 and should an elector vote against the will of the people - known as going ‘faithless’ - then it could have a huge sway on who becomes the next US leader.
Going faithless is very rare, however, with the most recent faithless vote coming in 2004 when an anonymous Minnesota voter decided not to vote for Democrat John Kerry and instead cast a vote for Kerry’s running mate, John Edwards.
Faithless voters have not yet managed to reverse an election result, but following the uproar caused by Trump’s election win there is a slim chance that Hillary Clinton could sneak into the White House.
