In what case does POTUS honor any ballots, mail-in or otherwise? It's really not up to him to decide. Not saying that what the Dems are doing is right, but POTUS saying he won't honor mail-in ballots carries as much weight as Pelosi saying she won't honor regular ballots.
Its in the constitution that the federal government ensure fair elections.
No, it is not.
Article I Section 4
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Place of Chusing Senators.
It is up to the States, and beyond that up to Congress.
My logic is what the Constitution says, so attack that.
What part of the Constitution is violated by your rhetorical example?
As far as I understand it, the only place where elections to Congress is mentioned is in the text I quoted. If elections are specifically mentioned elsewhere in the Constitution then by all means show me where.
If it is not prohibited by the Constitution, then it is allowed to happen. So from your rhetorical example, yes, the Federal government would not have any power to stop it, because the Federal govt is allowed only the powers specifically granted to it by the Constitution. You or I may not like it, but until it's amended that's still how it is.
And furthermore, since the original topic of this convo is whether POTUS can or cannot nullify any elections or the ballots or results thereof, what part of the Constitution gives him any of this authority?
