If more than half of the Representatives and Senators were arrested for treason, it would represent a profound constitutional crisis. The U.S. Constitution establishes that members of Congress are granted certain privileges, including protection from arrest during their attendance at Congress, except for treason, felony, or breach of the peace 4. However, this privilege does not extend to immunity from prosecution or conviction for treason. Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution requires that treason be proven by the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act or by a confession in open court 8.
In the event that a majority of Congress were arrested for treason, the legislative branch would be severely disrupted, potentially leading to a breakdown in governance. The Constitution provides mechanisms for addressing such situations, including the power of Congress to impeach and remove federal officials, including the President, for "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors"
- Additionally, the House of Representatives holds the sole power to initiate impeachment proceedings, while the Senate conducts the trial
- If a significant number of members were arrested, the remaining members would likely need to convene to address the crisis, potentially invoking emergency powers or declaring a state of emergency. However, the exact outcome would depend on the specific circumstances and the response of the executive and judicial branches. The Constitution does not provide a direct mechanism for replacing arrested members, but it does allow for the election of new representatives and senators to fill vacancies
- In such a scenario, the legitimacy of the government could be called into question, and there might be calls for a constitutional amendment or a special session of Congress to address the crisis.

What do ya'll think. Can Congress convene if half of its members are in jail?
FYI, the above answer was supplied by AI.
Things start getting better.
Yep. Sounds like it will run much more smoothly without the criminal interference and draining our money. Frankly, I don't see a downside.
I just see good coming out of it.
Golden age.
Yes
Only when israeli influence is severed
I'm OK with all of them being gone. All they do is make more laws that take away our freedoms and allow them to do what ever they want.
That's why we're already under emergency COG, and all the rest is a movie.
👏👍
No. More than likely continuity of Government protocols are initiated until emergency elections can be held and a new Congress convened.
If I had to guess most of the government will continue as if the Congressional Building suffered a direct hit and is now a radioactive crater.
Meaning Congress and the legislative branche is effectively removed from the equation as far as decision making is concerned. Not that truthfully I think most of the country would notice and or care. Hell some people might prefer it. Given the lackluster track record of Congress of actually being useful at any point in the nations history. Usually they historically either directly caused problems that threatened the nation in the first place. Or objectively made people’s lives worse with half-assed poorly thought out solutions that were more about scoring political points and ideological purity.

Military control under direct command of POTUS with immediate (2-3mos) election overseen by military.
Citizens only, one day vote, paper ballots, and a died finger showing one has voted. All votes counted and results declared by midnight of the same day.
That process used to work fine. It was a very long day for poll workers though.
I’d happily volunteer to help a real secure process.
We can only wish.
I think that’s why a lot of them have been forced into submission. I agree with you in that the gaps left by the storm will shake things up, maybe it’ll be a vaccum for new people who are good to take their place
You write that as if it's a bad thing.

Anonymous 10/31/2017 23:00:47 ID: grTMpzrL 4chan/pol: 147434025 There are more good people than bad. The wizards and warlocks (inside term) will not allow another Satanic Evil POS control our country. Realize Soros, Clintons, Obama, Putin, etc. are all controlled by 3 families (the 4th was removed post Trump's victory).
11.3 - Podesta indicted 11.6 - Huma indicted
Manafort was placed into Trump's camp (as well as others).>>> The corruption that will come out is so serious that deals must be cut for people to walk away otherwise 70% of elected politicians would be in jail (you are seeing it already begin). <<<A deep cleaning is occurring and the prevention and defense of pure evil is occurring on a daily basis. They never thought they were going to lose control of the Presidency (not just D's) and thought they had control since making past mistakes (JFK, Reagan).
Good speed, Patriots. PS, Soros is targeted.
Bull. They sit around and make laws ... occasionally. We can manage with the laws we have in place until a special election is called where necessary. Funding can be administered as already required by law and as administered previously.
So let it be written, so let it be DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Senators get better offices and seats in the chamber.
If that happens the Insurrection Act will have already been invoked, and the President will run the country until new elections can be held.
"Hey, bud, let's party!"
Never know what’ll happen until it does…make it so!!
I dont know…. But i am excited by the idea
Ai is retarded, please stop being lazy.
I'd agree, but how would I find the info I was looking for? Do a google search for the Constitution and read all the amendments? Yep, you are correct, I was lazy.
Start with Derrick Johnson, skip by the parts where he complains about his detractors. Basically points to the revised Law of War manual.
To show the Level of Corruption..even on Our side - The Majority of Congress Certifying a Fraudulent Election in 2020, sealed their Fate. A total of 147 Republican members of Congress voted to object to the certification of the 2020 presidential election results. Eight Republican senators voted to object to the electoral votes. Only 8..I believe we had 50 at the time...Remember, We ARE watching a Movie!!
I see this as the mechanism to begin a controlled dissolution of USA Inc. This will precipitate the Resurrection of the Original American Republic. God speed.
What happened when Tennessee, which officially seceded on June 8, 1861 was the last of the states to leave the union , leaving it with out a quorum ?
Considering we are still COG/Military Law
I'm dying to find out.
This would be an awesome problem!
