Its my understanding that the Constitution does not require Congress be seated as it does with the presidency
All of the Congress is running for reelection...right?
Widespread challenge of federal election results means all those running for election and reelection are no longer seated on 3 Jan if the election results are contested by then
The Senate on the other hand only has 1/3 or 1/2 (?) running for reelection. The rest including Senate Pres Pro Tempore Grassley (4th in succession) remain in office, as well as all of the Trump Cabinet officers until they are replaced by a new Pres
Conceivably if Pelosi ballots are not certified she is out on 3 Jan as well as all of the Congress. . The succession is then Grassley with SecState Pompeo next in line ( VP?)
I defer to experts to discuss this.
I dont know how these Pelosi power grabbing idiots think they can contest and postpone certifying election ballots for Trump when they are on the same ballots
DNC circular firing squad?
