The Federal Elections Commission has jurisdiction over campaign finance law.

The FEC has jurisdiction over campaign financing. They are not tasked with checking presidential eligibility.

Congress had no grounds to charge that the President-elect had failed to qualify.

So then there is no federal law to protest as Uncle Sham would like us to do.

Yeah, that’s what I said.


“So then there’s no federal law to protest as Uncle Sham would like us to.”

I think that Uncle Sham is correctly alluding to the federal statute that allows any one Representative and any one Senator to object in writing to the certification of the Electoral votes of a candidate at the Joint Session of Congress held to count the Electoral votes.
Neither Dick Cheney nor Joe Buden, in their roles as President of the Senate asked for objections, they just certified.
