5) This isn't speculation. This is how it was done LAST TIME there was an objection.
In 2016.
By Sheila Jackson Lee against Trump electors.
6) The parliamentarian informed veep Joe Biteme (!) that because there was no senator, the objection could not be heard.— Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) December 30, 2020
7) With a senator and Congressman objecting, the Parliamentarian then will read the rule, wherein the Senate and House retire to separate chambers to debate the objection.
8) Note: Pence has not done anything except entertain the objection. That's all he is allowed to do.— Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) December 30, 2020
9) According to the source, the Trump goal was to get the fraud debated in session.
10) However, the House will not debate. It will toss the objection in 30 seconds.
11) The Senate "may" take up to 2 hours to debate.
12) In the end, the certified slates will be accepted.— Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) December 30, 2020
