Trust the plan
******************************************************

Our President has had a plan for years before deciding to do this job, he knows what he is doing, all the planning that went into this, and now you are seeing some of his best planning, the Dems in the House have violated the very rule that governs them...the House is Speakerless….

Our President just destroyed the house, votes or no votes, the House of Representatives is finished until immediately elections are held...

Read Our Constitution...

I have. And there is no way to call new elections for the House, Senate or Presidency.

In the British parliamentary system, the Queen can prorogue Parliament, usually at the request of the Prime Minister, and call for new elections. Under our Constitution, no such remedy exists.

The only way one can replace a sitting congressman is if he dies, resigns or is expelled by the House. Then the governor (or legislature) of the state sets a date for a special election. If you can get enough House members to resign, you can change the composition of the House, but there is no constitutional way to call for a new election.
