Trump faces new Jan 6 crisis

Forget about storming the Capitol.
Republicans are ready to block Trumps certification


The first vote of the new House, when lawmakers are sworn in on January 3, is on electing a speaker. Then, on January 6, the House will meet to certify the results of the 2024 election.

Republicans elected Johnson as House Speaker in October 2023 after they were unable to agree on a replacement for three weeks after ousting the last speaker, Kevin McCarthy.

But Johnson is now facing a rebellion from House Republicans over his handling of government funding. The GOP's slim majority in the lower chamber means Johnson can afford few defections if he wants to keep his hold on the gavel.
Naw, If there's a big issue with the election of the Speaker; under House rules, the Office of the Speaker of the House can be declared vacant by resolution and a list of Speaker pro tempore members (in the order that they will act as speaker) can be delivered to the Clerk. The presiding Speaker pro tempore has the same authority as an elected Speaker pending the election of a new Speaker.

The provision (rule I clause 8(b)(3)) is designed to deal with a speaker that cannot fulfill his/her responsibilities due to physical disability but there's no reason the GOP couldn't use it for this situation if necessary.
 
Once again you manage to turn a Republican issue and blame Democrats

Harris is not the problem
Jeffries is not the problem
Biden is not the problem

The inability of Republicans to govern is obvious
Way to not address my post. All three are the problem and why we have such issues with illegals, two global conflicts, hyper inflation, youth in severe mental health crisis and why the legacy media their ally is on life support
 
You are lemmings. No chance you believe that trans women should compete in sports against females but you toed the line. No chance you believe that we should have an open border but you toed the line. No chance you believe that Biden wasn’t diminished and completely fucked up the Afghanistan withdrawal but you toed the line. No chance you believed that Harris should not do more press conferences and answer tough questions but you toed the line. Like your entire party. Dissent wasn’t allowed. Your party is the party of lemmings and you lost badly in 2024.
WTF does any of that have to do with Republicans inability to pick a leader?

Democrats do it

You guys are a clown car

Because you’re lemmings with no minds of your own. Republicans disagree. Humans should at times disagree. You are a very stupid person. Did you work for the Govt by chance prior to retirement?

You just took the wind out of rightwinger's sail.

Kinda jumping the gun are we?

You think?

158 Dems Vote Against Bill to Deport Illegal Immigrants Who Commit Sex Crimes. The Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act passed the House of Representatives along bipartisan lines on Wednesday. All present Republicans voted for the bill, as did 51 Democratic lawmakers. The measure passed 266 to 158.

The inability of both parties to govern is obvious, why Else do you think we're $37 Trillion in debt, our borders are non-existent, our health care system is a mess, corruption is rampant, and the country is more divided that at any time since the Civil War.

Did you think the current populist revolt just happened because the citizenry had nothing better to do?

The Certification of Electors is a Special Procedure authorized by the 12A and 3 USC 15 & 17 -

The vice president, not the speaker, presides over Congress’s counting of electoral votes.​


So whether or not Johnson is the Speaker is IRRELEVANT to that Special Legislative Event !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Leftwhiner is so full of shit.

Its OP is just additional evidence of that fact.

What it hopes isn’t what will happen.
 
It’s also absurd to believe that Congress needs a Speaker in order to have representatives sworn in.

What a crock.
Indeed, a Speaker can't even be elected without sworn representatives to elect him/her.

Don't crush their final fantasy, all the lawfare against Trump, the effort to remove him from state ballots and the candidate switcheroo all failed to keep President Trump out of the White House, this is their final hail Mary pass to "save democracy" by destroying it.

Let them keep their "Never Trump" delusions alive for another month, it's kinda cute to watch them flail about. ;)
 
Another “bad things are going to happen” dumbass copium thread.

Democrats are lemmings. Dissent isn’t allowed. You’re case in point. You kiss that party’s ass even though you can see that party has moved way too far left.

The Electoral procedure requires Congress be present.
