It ignores 14A Sec 3 which posits a situation where an insurrectionist has been excluded from taking his seat and must seek a 2/3 majority to admit him, or her.

We are in for some litigation if this stuff unfolds in the wrong direction.

Neat chart. Thanks. Is one of them the Catholic Bible, USCCB? keithbvadu2 Feb 2024 #90

Hard to tell. I've read that the Catholic Bible is also called the New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition ancianita Feb 2024 #91

Many Catholics/Protestants consider the other to be false Christians. keithbvadu2 Feb 2024 #92

This precedent is irrelevant. Suozzi hasn't been seated because the House went on recess on the 15th onenote Feb 2024 #48

That sounds true, especially in the modern era bucolic_frolic Feb 2024 #72

Yeah well, this Supreme Court doesn't seem to believe in precedents that don't benefit the right wing. unblock Feb 2024 #5

Was the election certifed before the House went into recess? Jose Garcia Feb 2024 #29

Nope bottomofthehill Feb 2024 #31

When he won the race and when the win was certified by election officials aren't the same thing. brooklynite Feb 2024 #38

Feel free to tell us the date of certification. W_HAMILTON Feb 2024 #74

May not have been been certified yet. Definitely not certified by the 15th. onenote Feb 2024 #82

I'm not sure it even has been. brooklynite Feb 2024 #83

They will refuse to seat any (D) ever again. eShirl Feb 2024 #25

Would you like to make a bet on that. onenote Feb 2024 #42

Let's deal with what is real bottomofthehill Feb 2024 #30

Why would Swalwell BlueKota Feb 2024 #81

You'd have to ask him. But why hasn't Jeffries made the same claim? onenote Feb 2024 #84

He had time to seat him before they took another vacation. Emile Feb 2024 #34

That is correct............................... Lovie777 Feb 2024 #36

The official certification of his election would have had to be transmitted to the House first. onenote Feb 2024 #43

With all the unfinished business in the house, why Emile Feb 2024 #45

Because they repubs don't know what the fuck they're doing. But it's not to keep Suozzi from being sworn in. onenote Feb 2024 #46

You know that for a fact ehh. . . Emile Feb 2024 #47

Yes. I do. Because looking at every special election held the last couple of years, there has been at least a week lag onenote Feb 2024 #49

So, this is the new norm for the House? DFW Feb 2024 #37

Not only is it allowed, it is a must dalton99a Feb 2024 #39

No, this is the old norm. onenote Feb 2024 #44
