    Most of the members who have been removed from Congress occurred during the Civil War for those who kept their federal office while also holding positions in the Confederacy. But those members were removed by a 2/3 vote of the House or Senate, not by the Speaker.

    In general, Congress does not like overturning the election decisions of the states, so Hart has an uphill battle. That being said, she has every right to make that uphill battle.
    Having lost by 1/2 dozen votes, she's demanding that 22 votes that were previously discounted be verified.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    I was wrong on that. But she can remove her through her office as speaker and control of her Party, she only needs justification which will not be long in coming. Thought I needed to clear that up before going Silent here.

    The U.S. Supreme Court, in Powell v. McCormack (1969), limited the powers of the Congress to refuse to seat an elected member to when the individual does not meet the specific constitutional requirements of age, citizenship or residency.

    what do you think the states reaction is going to be if she does that?
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    and you are wrong again........the House could, Nancy can't.........if she tries to remove her simply because she's a Republican it will just be another NancyDance like we saw against Trump.....

    Calling an insurrectionist what he is would be protected under the First Amendment. If we cannot call criminals what they are, without a trial and conviction, then we can never have a trial to begin with. Under English Common Law, which the Constitution says we adopted, we have a right to make allegations, before conviction. It is how the system works.

    There is a question about how much right the Constitution gives to lie, with Republicans arguing a lot of right to lie, and Democrats arguing that it is more limited. I would personally worry about too much restriction on lying, because who is the government to say what is a lie.

    Anyway, Hart has not lied. She is not going around making bizarre claims that she cannot repeat in court. There is a real question about 22 lawful ballots that were not counted in a race that she lost by 6 votes. She has every right to legally contest that. It is not like she is having her supporters storm the Capitol Building.

    Pelsoi realizes that Hart's challenge is an uphill battle, so to be fair allowed Miller-Meeks to be provisionally seated. Pelosi's fairness to a Republican was, as always, slapped back in her face.

    Pelosi's name isn't Hart, dumbfuck......this thread is about Nancy's lies.....Hart has already lost in court......Nancy wants to ignore that and make her own rules.....
