Kamala Harris Announces Congress Officially Certifies Donald Trump’s Victory

Kamala Harris Announces Congress Officially Certifies Donald Trump’s Victory

Harris has to oversee the certification process. LOL.

This happened:

How Congress Certifies an Election

The joint session of Congress happens on January 6 every four years to certify the presidential election. The law states the two chambers convene at 1PM ET (emphasis mine):

Under federal law, Congress must meet Jan. 6 to open sealed certificates from each state that contain a record of their electoral votes. The votes are brought into the chamber in special mahogany boxes that are used for the occasion.

Bipartisan representatives of both chambers read the results out loud and do an official count. The vice president, as president of the Senate, presides over the session and declares the winner.

The Constitution requires Congress to meet and count the electoral votes. If there is a tie, then the House decides the presidency, with each congressional delegation having one vote. That hasn’t happened since the 1800s, and won’t happen this time because Trump’s electoral win over Harris was decisive, 312-226.

Have fun, Harris!

The Democrats used 2021 as an excuse to make changes, including raising “the threshold necessary for members of Congress to object to a state’s electors” to at least one-fifth of the House and Senate.

So the Democrats did NOT do their ritual dance of challenging every state’s slate of Republican electors?

To paraphrase Jerry Ford, our long national nightmare is nearly over. Biden, our Caligula’s horse’s (bleep) is headed for the metaphoric glue factory.

In two weeks Kamala gets in line at the unemployment office.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that she will wait to recognize Donald Trump as the next U.S. president until it’s official. Maybe she will call Trump and congratulate him now.

I was expecting to hear her read the certification in one of her accents, along with her cackle at the end. LOL

Interesting how the National Popular Vote Compact states made such hay about submitting their electoral votes depending on how the popular vote went regardless of their actual state votes….until Trump won the popular vote. I looked up the electoral votes cast. Looks like every one of them wussed out and cast their Harris votes.

    Had that compact been in effect, the only state that would have awarded electoral votes to Harris would have been New Hampshire, meaning that the electoral college would have been 534 for Trump, and 4 votes for Harris

    The Compact hasn’t come into effect yet. It explicitly provides that until states with a majority of the electors join, it will not take effect and member states should continue as normal.

In other news, failed presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, certified her own defeat to Donald Trump.

Too bad the 2020 challenge was interrupted and then disintegrated. It had merit. So sad also that there is so much doubt as who caused the riot and why.

. If there is a tie, then the House decides the presidency,

Not just if there’s a tie. It happens any time nobody gets a majority. That can happen when there’s a tie, or when a third candidate gets enough votes to deny anyone a majority.

In such a case the House must choose from the top three vote=getters.

I am delighted that Trump won, but to be fair, she handled the situation with grace and dignity. It couldn’t have been easy for her.

-Krumhorn

This will be remembered as her greatest accomplishment.
