LaRouche Washington Webcast: ‘Now Comes the Aftermath’  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

“Two constitutional questions are posed to us at this juncture. Considering the present circumstances, in which this election-crisis has erupted, does the U.S. have both the right, and the obligation, to pause now for calm, sane, and sober reflection, during these weeks the Electoral College is being prepared.... My reading of the intent of the framers of the U.S. Constitution ... indicates that we have not only precisely that right, and also that solemn obligation ... to use the means which our Constitution has prepared for like contingencies, to ensure the continued existence of our republic according to that solemn, constitutional intent to promote the general welfare, that commitment to the common good, upon which the very existence of our republic was premised.”
