Will it then be up to Speaker Johnson to do it?
SOOOOOOOOOOO WHO IS IT LEFT TO??????
Me too. You know the sight of all these Biden admin folks joining celebrities fleeing the country or engaging in self-immolation like Rob Reiner will be entertaining. And if Polivere becomes PM of Canada. Canada will cease to be an option. Xi wont take them in China, he’ll say, “Trump you dog… why you send us your refuse?”. Where or where can they go? Maybe Brazil…
The state legislatures!
It took 38 posts but we finally get the correct answer.
Without addressing their theories, I think the better view is the VP doesn't have the authority to decertify or certify. The count is already certified unless Congress rejects a state's certification.
OMG!!!!!!
There is no such thing as "certification".
If you think there is, please post Article II and Amendment XII evidence, and if you can't find it (because it's not there) then knock it off with this "certification" BS.
It goes to follow, doesn't it?
However, at a minimum the tatts will make determining friend from foe much easier.
I feel for the legal immigrants who oppose all this crap and yet will be lumped in with the trash.
Perhaps it is they who will be cleaning house when the time comes. They know who's legit and who's not.
We need to keep praying for a sweep of both the House and Senate, AND at the state levels as well.
It would be good to see some states go red at the state level.
We’re hoping NH will make some progress in that area.
The daily free republic thread of looking for lawful remedies when a nation has already gone unlawful.
There’s no greater incentive and no better ‘common sense’ plan than that.
The military and Federal police agencies simply lack the resources to pacify the entire country, especially with defections. Those defections allowed Franco to organize a successful overthrow of Spain's Marxist regime in the 1930s.
Deep State leadership will have to call on foreign military assistance. The Chinese, Russians, Iranians, and the Latin American Communist countries will oblige them, at a huge price. Also, Mexico may want to enter the show to recoup their territorial losses in 1836 and 1848. Remember that when the post-Roman Britons were threatened by Pictish and Gaelic invaders, they turned to the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes for military aid. Their warriors defeated the Celtic threat but then took over what became England, killing or driving out the natives.
If she refuses to preside in the Senate, then the President Pro tem in the Senate (who is the most senior senator) will take over the duties.
She doesn’t really “certify” anything. She merely presides. The vote is registered with the clerk. Any disputes are handled with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The President of the Senate is a figurehead only.
The Speaker has nothing to do with this.
The states certify their ballots in December. Once that is done, it is recorded and at that time appeals must stop. It’s over on 12/16 (I think that is the day.)
The count in January is, and always has been, a formality. That is what Pence tried to explain, but people did not want to hear it.
Nh Emerson poll today has Harris only+3. MOE.
There ya go…inserting facts into an emotional discussion. LOL
It will be time for the Deplorables to rise up.
Federal soldiers are more than likely to fire on officers if ordered to fire on citizens
3 U.S. Code § 5
(a) In General.—
(1) Certification.—
Not later than the date that is 6 days before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors, the executive of each State shall issue a certificate of ascertainment of appointment of electors, under and in pursuance of the laws of such State providing for such appointment and ascertainment enacted prior to election day.
3 U.S. Code § 15 - Counting electoral votes in Congress
(B)(2)
(2) Powers explicitly denied.—
The President of the Senate shall have no power to solely determine, accept, reject, or otherwise adjudicate or resolve disputes over the proper certificate of ascertainment of appointment of electors, the validity of electors, or the votes of electors.
No, but we can park them at a nice toasty Denali base camp at 12,000 ft surrounded by razor wire.
“Question:What happens if Harris refuses to certify the election if Trump wins.”
Per US 3 paragraph 15 she is has no power except to deliver votes to congress.
