Dear Cando,
re; “Congressional procedure is so like that.The Founders knew what they were doing.”
It is NOT ‘Congressional procedure’, it is U.S.C. Title Code.
Since the Electoral College is a Constitutional Article, the ‘procedures’ are called out in the U.S.C. title Code, as LAW.
Therefore, each of the “objections” raised, were in violation of Code, when NOT having been signed by BOTH a sitting Representative AND a sitting Senator, and were ILLEGAL by U.S. Law. They were criminal actions.
They were not criminal actions but they were out of order.
Thank you for the code edification. I am all for arresting the a$$hats and putting them in the cooler.
Are you sure?
I thought the House members were entitled to raise the objections. When they raise the objection, it is an invitation to the sitting Senators to support the objection.
They did not.
The VP had to slap them down if not supported by a Senator.
