Cleaning up our fraudulent elections should be job one for the U.S. House of Representatives. The entire federal government should be shut down until they clean things up, but that’s not happening. Spending more money for wars so the MIC gets its cut of the pie is the priority, not clean elections. Too many RINOs in Congress still, and many aren’t there legitimately. If they keep voting the right way, the machine will keep them in power. Buck the elites like George Santos, and get thrown out of Congress.

“Cleaning up our fraudulent elections should be job one for the U.S. House of Representatives. “

Overseeing elections is not an enumerated power of the federal government in the Constitution. Therefore oversight of elections under the Constitution is a duty of the states and the people (10th Amendment).

The Constitution gives the House of Representatives no power to “clean up elections.” The House can investigate but it cannot compel action without passing a law. A bill to create a new law can originate in the House but the Senate has to also pass it, and the president must sign it to become law. Then under the Constitution it is the president’s job to execute the requirements of the law. Unfortunately presidents don’t always enforce the law (look at our immigration system). The remedy under the Constitution for a president not endorsing the laws of the land is impeachment by the House of Representatives, followed by expulsion by the Senate.
