What if terrorists kill 100 congressmen?

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2844) to require States to hold special elections to fill vacancies in the House of Representatives not later than 21 days after the vacancy is announced by the Speaker of the House of Representatives in extraordinary circumstances, and for other purposes.

I HATE when they word it that way.

I think I agree with NewGuy here. The Constitution already allows for vacancies in the Congress - it instructs Governors to issues writs of election, on their time schedule.

Obviously, in a catastrophic loss of Congressmen, the governors would be under extreme pressure to hold immediate elections. I can't imagine that any governor would sit there and do nothing.

Bad bill, IMO.
