“How can a new Congress address Electoral College or election issues related to themselves?”

I have no clue what you are asking, but the Constitution requires the Electoral College to meet in Janurary.

Remember Jan 6? That is what that was all about, to confirm Joe Biden as pesident by the Electoral College. The demonstration Trump was promoting was to pressure Congress to investigate, not overthrow, the election, and not rush to confirm.

I listened to Dan Bongino rant and rave as long as I could stand it and he kept saying Jefferies would be in charge of the House. He does not know that. (Jefferies is already in control of the House.)

If the Republicans gain or regain control of the House in the November election, a Republican will be own the gavel.

Congress has NO ROLE in the appointment of the President, this is the SOLE PREROGATIVE of the State Legislatures (and of Congress’s 3 electors since 1960).

IF the State Legislatures fail to appoint 270 or more Electors to vote for one man, then the HOUSE (not Congress) elects the President from the top 3 electoral vote getters, and the Senate elects the Vice President from the top 2 electoral vote getters. In case the House has to elect the President, each State gets one vote (California = 1, Wyoming = 1), and in case the Senate has to elect the Vice President, each Senator gets one vote.

The whole POINT of this complicated machinery was for the States acting as sovereigns to appoint the President, with all branches of the Federal government excluded ON PURPOSE.

This is why Congress cannot “certify” the choice.
