To: hobbes1; Congressman Billybob
No, the action would be more akin to a DQ, and when the winning horse is DQd....Who Wins?

I don't think it works that way in elections, although I don't have any hard data to back that up. I'm sure the Congressman would know better, if he doesn't mind sparing the time. But my understanding is that if either house disqualifies a prospective member, a vacancy ensues, to be filled by the usual method of filling vacancies, such as in cases of death or resignation.

It is has never been done, I don't think, but clearly Art 1. Sec 5. makes each house the respective referee of the elections to itself.
