"Majority worried about possible absence of its members in both houses - possible quorum may not be achieved"

weren't most in attendance this week for opening session, why wouldn't GOP be present. I would think Jan 6 would be a symbolic and all GOP would be present at vote count ??

what would be the delay?

what would be the delay

Since it would take a majority vote of both houses to overrule any elector slate the Pubblies only need a quorom and a majority in either the House or the Senate.

What is so funny about this is that even if the House and Senate delayed for four years the outcome would be the same--President Bush!

:-)

The only thing I have heard is that Sen. Frist and a delegation were going to go to SE Asia on a fact finding trip, I guess. Unless he is going as a doctor, which I doubt.

I know it was mentioned that he was leaving on Thursday, but as Majority Leader, I would think it would be bad form to miss this "ceremonial" (at least it is supposed to be) vote!!! If he is gone and has taken some Rep. Senators, then he will have 2 blackmarks already, the other being not setting the dems straight on filibusters. Instead he is giving them "another chance".

BTW, wouldn't it be funny if someone sent John Kerry a fake e-mail telling him to hurry back to USA, cause the election in Ohio has been overturned and HE, John Kerry, is really the president? I think that would be hilarious if someone could be there to see his reaction!!!
