There is nothing that makes these rule binding, in the sense that a violation has no consequence. Congress has plenary power here. Its decision is beyond review. It can even seat an ineligible person as POTUS, and has done so.
If the people don't accept it, tough. There is nothing in legal process to remedy an error here.
All this to plan the usual posturing to keep the public from becoming restive. There will be "rule of law" speeches and similar nonsense, same garbage Congress has been feeding the people for decades. The institution is rotten beyond redemption.
Here’s the same info, being tweeted by new R Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene...
Word on the Hill is that Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi could be working together on a rules change “deal” to block our Electoral College Certification objection.

In years past, I would have taken comfort in the fact that we actually have pretty clear Election Law that prescribes what can and can’t happen on 1/6.
But as many laws in America nowadays are pretty much routinely ignored entirely by those in power, with absolutely no consequences, God only knows what can and will happen here.
McConnell clearly does not want a vote, as probably no more than 5 Senators (Hawley, Cruz, Paul, Blackburn and Tubberville) will vote on the side of the good guys. That will embarrass the bananas out of 45 - 47 other R Senators. And Mitch is gonna do everything he can to prevent that.
