Over the past year, they’ve made some wonderful commercial ad material for their opponents in 2022...if the opponents ever find the courage to use it.
It takes 2/3rds majority to expel a member, but in this case the member would not be expelled, but rather declared to not be the winner of the election. I have to wonder if Miller-Meeks would be required to pay back her salary from her time in office?
Statement true
Nancy loves her some precedent.
Brindisi surprisingly conceded to Tenney (NY-22), and Rose had already conceded to Malliotakis (NY-11).
Hey Nancy! Election is over! Accept the results! Otherwise, you can be removed from office for spreading misinformation.
That's not how it plays out. Meeks was 'provisionally seated'. The House need only vote a simple majority to accept the Committee report that says count ballots until Hart wins.
In 1985, McCloskey's House vote was 236 to 190 to accept the House Committee report -- after McIntyre, the Republican challenger, had been declared the winner in IN-8 by 34 votes one day after the election, and by 418 votes after a state-ordered recount -- just exactly the way Pelosi is seeking to do for Hart.
However, Pelosi made a tactical error -- in '85, the House paid both McCloskey and McIntyre until the Democrat-led House committee released their report and the House voted to accept the report 55%-45% and seat McCloskey.
Rather than hand Trump not just a lit match but the gas as well to attack Nancy for seating a Democrat who accused her state of electoral fraud, suspect Madame Defarge will instruct the House to reject the report (or even kill it in Committee) and instead find Hart a jerb in Resident Xiden's admin like Robotox did for former Rep. Rose (get this : "US Secretary of Defense for COVID-19").
“They can do what ever they want to. What the hell is anyone going to do about it?”
As we have learned with the prolonged [ >2 weeks] Shutdowns.
Democrat Rita Hart... is represented by Democrat lawyer Marc Elias, who helped fund the fraudulent “Russia dossier” in the 2016 election and was Democrats’ leading lawyer in the 2020 election, suing in several states to overturn exiting election laws and rules.
