What can we expect from Jordan as speaker?

[Zincwarrior]

Legally the new Congress starts before the electors are counted. He would have to be speaker of the House of a new Republican led House of Congress.

Further still, unless the House voting due to no candidate receiving 270 votes, then he nor the House have a function other than objections. It is run by the VP and the Senate.

Electoral College Timeline of Events

Under the 23rd Amendment of the Constitution, the District of Columbia is allocated three electors and treated like a State for purposes of the Electoral College. In the following discussion, the term “State” also refers to the District of Columbia, and the term “Executive” also refers to State...

January 6, 2025—Congress counts the electoral votes​

Congress meets in joint session to count the electoral votes. The Vice President, as President of the Senate, presides over the count and announces the results of the Electoral College vote. The President of the Senate then declares which persons, if any, have been elected President and Vice President of the United States.

If any objections to the electoral votes are made, they must be submitted in writing and be signed by at least one-fifth of the members of the House and one-fifth of the Senators. If objections are presented, the House and Senate withdraw to their respective chambers to consider the merits of the objection(s) under procedures set out in Federal law. Only two grounds for objection are acceptable: that the electors of the State were not lawfully certified under a Certificate of Ascertainment, or that the vote of one or more electors has not been regularly given.

If no Presidential candidate wins at least 270 electoral votes (a majority of the 538 available votes), under the 12th Amendment to the Constitution the House of Representatives decides the Presidential election. If necessary, the House would elect the President by majority vote, choosing from among the three candidates who received the greatest number of electoral votes. The vote would be taken by State, with each State having one vote. (The District of Columbia does not vote because it doesn't have voting members in the House of Representatives.)

If no Vice Presidential candidate wins at least 270 electoral votes (a majority or the 538 available votes), under the 12th Amendment the Senate elects the Vice President. If necessary, the Senate would elect the Vice President by majority vote, choosing between the two candidates who received the greatest number of electoral votes. Each Senator would have one vote.

Hopefully the sudden passing of Brandon and the bitch.

Since you freaks can't win elections, I guess that's all you have.

Who is Jim Jordan? And what could be expected from him as speaker?

Rep. Jim Jordan has the House GOP's nomination for the speaker. He isn't the speaker just yet – he still has to win a floor vote, which is scheduled for Tuesday.

abcnews.go.com

If Jim Jordan is elected Speaker tomorrow, we are assured of a government shut down in days. He is a mouth piece of trump and a firebrand of MAGA. He is not seeking the speakership to build up. He is seeking it to tear down. He, like Steve Bannon, are in it to create Chaos. The Dems made a mistake when they allowed to be bullied out of his quest for the office. To think that Jefferies was going to be speaker was a pipe dream.

Now the Dems are stuck with a trump clone and a man who may burn the House down. The MAGA repubs will win short term and lose long term. I foresee Jordan doing some long term damage to Congress.

Jeffries failed today. Bonus: He can't win.

MSN reports that "Conservative Republican Rep. Jim Jordan fell significantly short of winning the House speaker’s gavel on a first ballot Tuesday, leaving the House in paralysis after 20 Republicans opposed the Ohio Republican.

The vote, in which Jordan failed to secure a majority of the full House, was a disappointment for Jordan’s allies who had expressed hopes that the number of holdouts would be in the single digits."

It comes as no surprise, of course that Republicans would elect as Speaker a treasonous insurrectionist and enemy of democracy such as Gym Jordan.

If he tries to subpoena ANYONE, he needs to be reminded that he defied a Congressional subpoena. He is an insurrectionist.

Jordan should not be allowed to hold office.

Jordan should not be allowed to hold office.

I never said I was a Christian. You do not have to be to believe there is a devil. You stupid hack.

You believe in the devil? Take a look at that son of a bitch down at MAL. He's the real deal in the flesh.

 

[initforme]

Well he won the job today so there is that.

 

[Clipper]

Jordan should not be allowed to hold office.

Neither should Trump. The BOTH tried to overthrow the Federal Govt. before, after & on J6.

There are people sitting in Feferal prisons for years for doing a whole lot less then what those two did.

Well he won the job today so there is that.

He did? On what planet?

They put another vote off today & is scheduled for tomorrow so that Jordan, Trump & their lackeys can have more time to use their mob tactics with threats & intimidation to put him over the top.

Hopefully it won't work so that greasy smirk on Jordan's traiterous puss can be wiped off.

I expect trump and his fellow criminals are working the phones and calling in threats.

Especially Trump who as usual is his miserable rotten old self after that Judge slapped his fat ass with a gag order.

The biggest loser in political history needs a win.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

At this point, I doubt he is going to get enough of the holdouts to change their votes.

Democrats get the political win again.

I disagree with what you said about Jeffries.
I don’t think democrats actually expected him to get enough votes. They just wanted to be united in a symbolic vote.

Indeed. It’s all about drawing the contrast.

Some House Republicans are abandoning Jordan's sinking ship.

Some Republicans are reportedly planning to change their vote on the second round o

Yes. Take a look around and tell me you don't.
