Congress has the authority to throw out California's electoral votes provided there is a challenge to those votes and both Houses of Congress vote to throw them out.

Congress could theoretically refuse to seat California's senators and congressmen, but that would reopen Powell v. House of Representatives, in which the Supreme Court decided in Adam Clayton Powell's favor.


Powell, a typical Democrat scumbag, in the original sense of the word.

The Court stated that being a scumbag is not sufficient reason to deny someone a seat in the House when he had followed all the laws of his state to be duly elected.

If anything, being a scumbag is a requirement for the job.

I remember him setting on the back of his boat drinking Mint Juleps and laughing at congress.
