The old Federal government did not accept being Impeached by the Convention of States and continued to meet as before. The old House passed bills in their chambers. The old Senate approved them in their chambers. The old President signed them aboard Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, and the remains of the old Supreme Court passed down their rulings as before. They declared the Convention of States and all of its works unconstitutional and ordered that America ignore them. It was an audacious plan. Continue to meet as normal and demand everybody act as if they were still the official government. It could have worked, but they lacked the funding to support it, and relatively few parts of American actually followed their directives as time went on.
