From Google:
The Guarantee Clause, found in Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, mandates that the federal government ensure every state has a “Republican Form of Government”. It also requires the United States to protect states from foreign invasions and, when formally requested, from domestic violence (insurrections).Because the Founding Fathers designed this clause to prevent states from adopting monarchical, dictatorial, or pure direct democratic systems, it functions as a critical structural safeguard for the republic.However, enforcement of the Guarantee Clause operates outside the traditional legal system. Historically, the U.S. Supreme Court has deemed disputes under this clause to be “political questions,” meaning it is up to Congress and the President—rather than federal judges—to determine whether a state government is legitimate. Landmark rulings such as the 1849 case Luther v. Borden established this standard of judicial restraint“
The problem with this is enforcement. The President can issue an Executive Order requiring all states to comply with this constitutional requirement, but we all know they will ignore it. The Congress could refuse to certify election results from states who do not comply – but we all know that this Congress would never do that.
You are right that this is constitutionally required, but we live in a country where a significant portion of the population refuses to comply with the Constitution. IMO this can’t be fixed. We either have an amicable separation or we will have unending chaos.
