50. How about the Democrats stay away and force all Republican Congress members to attend?

Especially the Democrats in the line of succession - which means Nancy Pelosi until Biden's cabinet is approved sworn in.

Especially make sure Mitch McConnell is there. That way if the insurgents blow up the swearing ceremony, Nancy Pelosi is President and Mitch can never be in line to be.
