We have a quite the serious Constitutional quagmire here. 20th Amendment states that:
and the terms of Senators and Representatives [shall end] at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin [...]
Riddle me this....
How are purported House members-elect lawfully participating in House business (election of a Speaker), if they are not actually members of the House until they are sworn in, which according to House rules, cannot happen until the election of a Speaker?
Sounds like the Constitution is long overdue for an amendment to clarify this glaring oversight by the Framers.
Furthermore, if our House has been functioning in such a disfunctional, arguably unconstitutional manner, seemingly since the beginning, have we ever truly had a legitimate Congress?
Time for a new Convention of the States to settle some of these big issues.
FUCK NO!
You want George Soros' people running THAT?
Fuck off with that nonsense.
That wasn't a very respectful reply.
You want George Soros' people (and all of the Uniparty) to continue running the swamp that is our federal government?
We don't want them running the swamp AND re-writing the Constitution.
Why do you assume "they" would even be involved? Delegates to a convention of the States would need to be elected by the states for that purpose, meaning it wouldn't be decided by those already elected to the federal government.
I don't want to rewrite the Constitution either. But it does have a lot of room for improvement.
No it doesn't. Get rid of the 14th would be a good start.
