"Hayes began on March 4, 1877, when Rutherford B. Hayes was inaugurated as President of the United States, and ended on March 4, 1881. Hayes became the 19th president, after being awarded the closely contested 1876 presidential election by Republicans in Congress who agreed to the Compromise of 1877."
Keep in mind Hayes won due to only 3 contested states, rather than the 6-7 that Trump was after. Instead of resolving the issue in January, as was the expected norm of that time (later codified into law via amendment) Hayes fought it out until March. I don't see why our modern Republicans lack the will power and resolve to fight like the Republicans back then.
Even if I was willing to accept your defeatist attitude on the corrective power of the Senate and the Vice President who are supposed to be the final stop gap if the legislature fails in their duty -- Mike Pence is STILL an asshole. He's been leaking intel, and he fucked over Mike Flynn. And he wanted to get rid of Trump before he even became President. Mike Pence is no friend of Trump.
