Media Fact-Checkers Silent as Nancy Pelosi Falsely Claims She Can Unseat 'Any Member of Congress' She Wants
PJ Media ^ | Matt Margolis

Where are the fact-checkers protecting us from fake news and misinformation? Nancy Pelosi has made an outrageous claim, asserting an authority that she doesn’t have, to pick and choose who gets seated in the House.

In 2020, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks narrowly defeated Democrat candidate Rita Hart in November by six votes in an election where over 400,000 ballots were cast. Her victory was certified by the state, and she was provisionally seated by Congress. But the Democrats’ razor-thin majority in the House has Nancy Pelosi trying desperately to pad her majority any way she can, even if that means stealing an election from the duly elected Republican, Miller-Meeks.

~snip~

Article I Section 5 of the U.S. Constitution does state that “Each house shall be the judge of the … qualifications of its own members,” but explains that a two-thirds majority vote is required to expel a member.

Under the Federal Contested Elections Act, the House Administration Committee “may recommend, and the House may approve by a simple majority vote, a decision affirming the right of the contestee to the seat, may seat the contestant, or find that neither party is entitled to be finally seated and declare a vacancy.” But, the Speaker of the House has no authority to unilaterally seat or unseat a duly elected member of Congress, as Pelosi suggested.

Next time a republican is speaker see what happens if he/she states he/she has the option to not seat a duly elected and certified demonrat representative.

This all begins to sound like something occurring in 1860.

Unless Pelosi can show zero or two or more certifications from the state electing the Representative, there is no ‘contested’ election. All she can do is seat them and try to remove them with 2/3 of the House agreeing.

Not gonna happen ...

She is ‘technically’ correct, in that she can demand her caucus vote the target member out

It’s clear that the democrats are getting tired of following rules. If they can steal an election, why should they have to follow the law afterward. The absence of objections signals agreement. Never let a coup go to waste.

Pelosi at a young age learned how to win politically! There is no secret!

What do you think is on Randy Jack/John's horny mind? Yes that is Pelosi at a White House function.

Is there any chance at all that she can unseat herself?

"She had those crazy eyes as a young woman too!"

Yes, she did. Her crazy eyes were a warning to any sane person: "Avoid any contact with me! I am totally insane!

If I were a looney liberal who believes this tripe, I’d be asking “If she has this power then why would are we allowing any Republicans to be seated?”

Since most democrats vote according to HER wishes, it is a moot point. If she tells them to vote to remove the winner and seat the loser, they will do so.

So yes, she does have the power. After all, Hitler never killed a single Jew. Stalin never executed a single Red Army general. They both had people for that.

Her eyes are saying “Look at ME!”

It’s always been about her.

People should just learn to accept it and bow.
