Red State news Jan. 15, 2025 (Ratcliffe at his Senate hearing takes aim at the globalist intel deception web that upholds their evil warmongering and human trafficking system)

RATCLIFFE: In 2020, when a chairman of an intelligence committee misrepresented that a laptop owned by then-candidate Biden's son was somehow a Russian intelligence operation and 51 former intelligence officials used the imprimatur of IC authority to go along with that, I stood in the breach, I stood alone and told the American people the truth about that. So I think my record in terms of speaking truth to power and defending the intelligence community and its good work is very clear, and what I can assure you is, those types of instances, if I'm in that position as CIA director and have to do that again, as uncomfortable as that can be, to be accused, you know, the truth will ultimately defend itself, and I think intelligence will as well.

Hypothetical, if the House cannot decide upon a Speaker before 12 Noon Jan. and the Electoral College Vote has not been tallied in Congress and certified, then what?

No Speaker of the House, so next in line is the President Pro Tempore of the Senate = usually the ranking member = will be Senator Charles E. Grassley!

Presidential Succession Act of 1947 (3 U.S. Code Section 19)

In the link here to the Congressional discussions, it was noted that the Constitution has succession rules to follow when the presidency is vacant and there are Cabinet Officers in a President’s administration who can fill in.

In this upcoming Jan. 2025 scenario, there is no Certification of Trump by Jan. 20 Noon and a temporary officer needs to fill in temporarily.
