Cutler, Benninghoff Make Statement on Plans for Remainder of Legislative Session

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives will not be returning to voting session before the constitutionally mandated end of session on Monday, Nov. 30. Nothing about no "special" session will be called.

The point that I am making is that not all of the powers of a legislature are legislative. In the case of an impeachment, the Senate has a judicial function and the lower house is a prosecutor. In the case of appointing presidential electors, the function of the legislators is electoral. The purpose of state constitutions in places like GA, that require the governor to call the legislature in a special session after certain events, have no bearing on the prerogatives of the legislature to appoint presidential electors, a federal electoral power
