Congress eyes strongest response yet to Jan. 6 attack

Would that be fake electors who weren't elected, or fake electors elected with fake ballots? Just curious...

Fake electors working for Trump. Their cases should come up as part of the 1/6 investigation.

I'm looking forward to the WSE leader trials. They should be very revealing about who did what to whom.
 
because anything else means fraud can be overlooked.

any election that required having the Supreme Court intervene to make the state follow its own rules (I'm looking at you Pennsylvania) is by its nature suspect.

Pennsylvania never chose any electors.

Amending the Constitution
The Constitution defines the fundamental law of the U.S. federal government, setting forth the three principal branches of the federal government and outlining their jurisdictions. It has become the landmark legal document of the Western world, and is the oldest written national constitution currently in effect. The Constitution has been amended 27 times, most recently in 1992, although there have been over 11,000 amendments proposed since 1789.


Article V of the Constitution provides two ways to propose amendments to the document. Amendments may be proposed either by the Congress, through a joint resolution passed by a two-thirds vote, or by a convention called by Congress in response to applications from two-thirds of the state legislatures.

Liz Cheney's last desperate grasp at relevance... After all, she's gone come January when whoever Montana elects in November to replace her takes her seat, be it a Republican (likely) or Democrat...

She's a Wyoming congresswoman, not Montana, you mental giant you :)
 
House to vote on election law overhaul in response to Jan. 6

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House will vote on an overhaul of a centuries-old election law, an effort to prevent future presidential candidates from trying to subvert the popular will.

The legislation under consideration beginning Wednesday is a direct response to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and former President Donald Trump’s efforts to find a way around the Electoral Count Act, an arcane 1800s-era law that governs, along with the U.S. Constitution, how states and Congress certify electors and declare presidential election winners.

While that process has long been routine and ceremonial, Trump and a group of his aides and lawyers tried to exploit loopholes in the law in an attempt to overturn his defeat.

Proposing an amendment is not amending the Constitution, dumbass. Congress has no authority to amend the Constitution.
