When the Convention of States Impeached the President and Congress, and brought a new Senate and President into the mix, the old President and Congress did not cooperate. And the majority of the Federal government employees working in Washington D.C. stood against them, to the point that the Capitol Police promised to resist any attempt to remove the old Congress from their offices. So the new President had the military engineers build temporary offices for the Congress at Camp David. He refused to give the media video of armed Federal officers removing the old Congress at gunpoint. Street fights with the Capitol Police would have been even worse. So he waited until the dark of night to send armed Federal officers to secure the IRS and other agencies that controlled or distributed Federal money. When the world woke up to what he had done, it was all completed. He had control of the money spigot, and “defund the crooks” had a nice ring to it in the press conference. Even if the media and old government accused him of treason and performing a coup against their “honest government.”

The Convention of States Impeached the President of the United States and helped select a new President to replace him. The current President refused to leave the White House, so the Commandant of the Marine Corps called the Director of the Secret Service to the discuss the matter. That call resulted in a quick and non-violent transfer of the current President out of the White House by his own guards. He did not even realize what was happening until it was all over and the new President was sitting in his chair. The Commandant also called the Capitol Police Chief when the Impeached Senators and Representatives declined to leave their offices. The Capitol Police Chief was less cooperative than the Secret Service. He refused to accept that the Convention of States or its rulings had any legitimacy and promised his department would resist any attempt to enforce them. Not all of them did, in fact, follow his orders, but most did. And that trend crossed all major departments and agencies of the Federal government. Some department or agency heads followed the old President and Congress, while others accepted the new government, and most of their people followed the leaders. It became a most confusing situation for a time.
