You conveniently left out a political action that could produce results in less than 12 months.
A Republican-controlled Congress could move to correct the violation of statute that occurred during the Jan 9, 2009 session of the Joint Committee called solely for the purpose of considering and accepting, or denying, the Electoral College’s certifications.
I don't think I conveniently left it out; I don't think that such a thing is a remote possibility.
In other words, it would be like saying to me (about another subject), "You've conveniently left out the possibility that the sun might skip a day in rising this week."
I would say, "No, it' ain't ever gonna happen!" ... LOL ... And I would say the same thing about that... :-)
The violation occurred when the chair failed to call for Objections to any certifications, (“the...SHALL CALL for objections”)(emphasis added).
It is irrelevant that the chair was a Republican; further, nothing occurred at that session that could, or did, waive that violation.
Well, you'll note that no objections will be received that are not in writing and that are not received ahead of time.
Thus, by the time you get to the actual session, and nothing is in writing and nothing has been received ahead of time -- there is absolutely nothing which could be submitted at the time of the session, which would be allowed.
Therefore, it wasn't called because nothing could qualify, per those requirements, "at that time of the session".
And that's why you'll never see this happening, because it's easily verified and proven that nothing was submitted in writing ahead of time.
“Well, you’ll note that no objections will be received…that are not received ahead of time…there is absolutely nothing which could be submitted at the time of the session, which would be allowed…(t)herefore, it wasn’t called because nothing could qualify, per those requirements.”
Please point to language in 3 USC 15 or otherwise provide statutory authority for the pre-session writings you refer to and we can put this issue to rest.
IMO, the statute only provides for written objections in response to the chair’s call; this not only for the record, but primarily because any objections are to be considered separately in each chamber
A pre-session filing of writings would preclude the necessity of the statutory “call”, the chair could simply announce it had received objections.
Your contention is the members are required to submit written objections in advance of the presentation of Certificates to the Congress. Can you point to the manner of the submission and the by “no later than” provisions for such procedure?
“I don’t think I conveniently left it out…”
My use of the word “conveniently” is apropos given that a workable political solution could do damage to the pro-Obama viewpoint contained in your many posts.
