Nancy Pelosi is no longer in Congress effective 3 January if the California election results have not been certified.
That's a good point, does CA have a succession plan in it's constitution should she not be seated?
This possibility scares me the most, God help us if it comes to this:
Each house determines the final election results of its membership. This means the Democratic majority in the U.S. House might decide not to seat duly elected Republican members to prevent the Republicans from holding a 26-seat majority in the state delegations if they, with one vote per state, are used to determine the president if no candidate has the needed absolute majority of seated electors votes. Given that the majoritys power to determine the membership of the body, House or Senate, is absolute, the sole check on the use of this political power is the potentially dire consequences of its abuse.
