The U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 4 states:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government....

Presently there are elected officials in various U.S. States and others running to be elected to such positions who deny the certified results of the 2020 Presidential Elections.

Pursuant to its Article IV, Section 4 obligation, may the U.S. Government remove such persons from their respective offices? Must the U.S. Government remove such persons from their respective offices?

Leftists demand that people accept tyranny. The people say no.

@gollum,
Can the Federal government remove state government officials? I do not believe so. I believe that is a power left only to the people.

@McGentrix,
oralloy and McGentrix-

Thank you for your answers. I accept that they are correct.

That said, the Constitution did not include the subject clause only as an ornament.

In what situation would the Federal Government do what, pursuant to the subject section of the Constitution?

Has it ever?

They would intervene if a state government were overthrown or destroyed so that the state was no longer governed by a democracy.

The Civil War.
