Well right now Democrats control the senate. They would probably just confirm him as a matter of procedure.
If they send him up for confirmation now, that would be admitting that he was not eligible to serve and all prior actions would be illegal. Grand Jury indictments, subpoenas, witness interviews, search warrants, etc. would be thrown out.
Seems to me to be all fruit of a poisonous tree if he is not legal.
Im not an attorney but that passes the ‘makes sense’ test! 👍
But it hasn’t happened yet. Not really in control? The rule would likely need to be changed to allow for only a majority vote. Is that the objective?
