Can that legally be done? If so, will McConnell permit it?
Just vote by Nov 29 and it won’t matter.
Summary;
COMPREHENSIVE
especially : covering the main points succinctly
What’s the fastest timeline for confirmation.
“Susan Collins will join Murkowski in refusing to vote for any nominee before November 3.”
Collins will have to think long and hard about that decision. She is in trouble there.
X is an unknown quantity
Spurt is a drip under pressure
She is already down what doe she have to lose to suck up to the femenazis.
Make no mistake the election just shifted to Roe V Wade, not healthcare, not security.
Romney already said no. Wait for election. I’m sorta on the fence. This might motivate republicans who are squishy to vote trump.
AZ Central is a poisonous commie rag. Nobody wants that gun grabbing Chinese agent piece of shit.
He won’t have to worry about that since he is not going to win. Ruthie changed everything
No he would not. McSally's office extends until Jan 3rd. See Amendment XX.
“No he would not. McSally’s office extends until Jan 3rd. See Amendment XX.”
I don’t know. Maybe you have better info.
It's called the Constitution of the United States. See Amendment XX, Section 1.
"...the terms of the Senators and Representatives [shall end] at noon on the 3rd day of January..."
She’s going to be running a lot closer to Trump now.
But this is a special election. McSally is filling the McCain seat, 2016-2022.
The winner of McSally and Kelly is up for election again in 2022.
Mea culpa. I had mistakenly assumed that McSally was completing McCains term. Arizona law specifies when the replacement will take effect, as soon as the results are certified.
Are not all newly elected REPLACEMENT members of Congress sworn in as part of the new Congress, and not part of the existing Congress before the election???
By what law can Kelly be sworn in by November 30th???
“Are not all newly elected REPLACEMENT members of Congress sworn in as part of the new Congress, and not part of the existing Congress before the election???”
AZ law: https://www.azleg.gov/ars/16/00222.htm
The AZ newspaper article quoted “experts” as saying Kelly could be sworn into office immediately after the AZ vote is certified.
People get sworn into office early from special elections all the time. Here is an article on 2 Republicans getting sworn into office by Pelosi on May 19, 2020: https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2020-05-19/2-republican-special-election-winners-sworn-into-house
