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.
Our circumstance leaves us starting from scratch. We are so broken that we will have to tear it down to the foundation and start over. Thankfully our constitution is the foundation.
Constitution does not protect us, that's why some of us swear an oath to protect it. The failure is in the hearts of those who took the oath amd did not stand on it.
Politicians, judges, cops and military people.
I know Some who want to scrap it and start over. I don't agree. Of we enforce laws against treason we get rid of the treasonous and we make it too risky for most to try.
I agree with you u/VetforTrump 👈🏻
I would much rather stand up for the Constitution, keep it, and hold the treasonous bastards accountable than start all over.
We The People must rise up and do so Peacefully and Patriotically.
