In the latest stunning development in Republican attempts to upend a democratic presidential election, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro falsely insisted Saturday night that Vice President Mike Pence can arbitrarily postpone Inauguration Day. The Constitution clearly states that Inauguration Day is Jan. 20, and Donald Trump and Pence’s terms end at noon that day. If an investigation continues past Jan. 20, the inauguration will simply have to be put off, Navarro said. “Vice President Pence, he has the authority to give that 10-day window to do what needs to get done,” Navarro insisted, as host Jeanine Pirro nodded. But, she added: “January 20 cannot be changed; that’s constitutional.”“It can be changed, actually,” Navarro insisted.
