Nancy Pelosi Tag

President Donald Trump announced he wants Congress to amend the COVID-19 relief bill to give Americans $2,000 instead of $600. The best part? Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi "forgetting" that Republicans and Trump never once told her the amount they wanted to give people. Oh, she also said one day ago that $600 is a significant sum.

Following the Supreme Court's denial of the Texas lawsuit—later joined by 17 states, New Jersey Democrat Rep. Bill Pascrell is demanding that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refuse to seat the 126 House Republicans who supported the Texas suit. LI readers may recall Pascrell filing complaints against and trying to get lawyers representing President Trump disbarred.

Nancy Pelosi has reportedly begun rallying Democrats in the event the House is called upon to decide the 2020 presidential election. The House is constitutionally provided the privilege of selecting the president in the unlikely event of an Electoral College tie.  A "contingent election" such as this has not happened since 1824, and happened only once before that in 1800, so there is some confusion about what it actually entails.
