Every damn one of them.

They need a reminder of who they work for.

Beat me to it.

See. There was something I was not thinking about and that is if the POTUS race does not allow for one to reach a winning amount of electoral votes the House picks the next president.

Contingent Election of the President and Vice President by Congress Congressional Research Service Summary The 12th Amendment to the Constitution requires that presidential and vice presidential candidates gain “a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed” in order to win election. With a total of 538 electors representing the 50 states and the District of Columbia, 270 electoral votes is the “magic number,” the arithmetic majority necessary to win the presidency. What would happen if no candidate won a majority of electoral votes? In these circumstances, the 12th Amendment also provides that the House of Representatives would elect the President, and the Senate would elect the Vice President, in a procedure known as “contingent election.”

Contingent election has been implemented twice in the nation’s history under the 12th Amendment: first, to elect the President in 1825, and second, the Vice President in 1837. In a contingent election, the House would choose among the three candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each state, regardless of population, casts a single vote for President in a contingent election. Representatives of states with two or more Representatives would therefore need to conduct an internal poll within their state delegation to decide which candidate would receive the state’s single vote. A majority of state votes, 26 or more, is required to elect, and the House must vote “immediately” and “by ballot.”

Additional precedents exist from 1825, but they would not be binding on the House in a contemporary election. In a contingent election, the Senate elects the Vice President, choosing one of the two candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each Senator casts a single vote, and the votes of a majority of the whole Senate, 51 or more, are necessary to elect. The District of Columbia, which is not a state, would not participate in a contingent election, despite the fact that it casts three electoral votes

Know we know why some of those GOP are leaving and the left is so eager to get rid of others. Put in a good third party candidate and you could have more craziness than now....

No one; the people got their pound of flesh, they will be placated for a while.

With this ADDITIONAL INDICTMENT, it is now EVEN MORE IMPERATIVE that Congressman BOB MENENDEZ be expelled/removed from the United States Senate, ASAP!

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) was accused in a second superseding indictment Tuesday of accepting gifts from the Qatari government and for helping a New Jersey real estate developer obtain millions in investment funds from the Gulf country, adding to the former Senate Foreign Relations chairman’s legal woes.

The allegations add to the four criminal charges filed in September and October against the longtime New Jersey lawmaker. Menendez was charged with bribery, fraud, extortion and acting as a foreign agent on behalf of Egypt, with the new accusations adding the involvement of Qatar.

I noticed how the news coverage didn't even brochure the topic of removal from the Senate. It's almost as if their coverage is orchestrated ... what real journalist wouldn't ask such an obvious question?

I think the holiday liquor has killed a lot of brain cells in journalists who were already mentally dumbed down.

Both Conservative and Liberal pundits, journalists, and even Social Media people are "slow" this week.

I'd rather think they are "slow" rather than complicit with working to help keep the U.S. Senate under Democrat control.

BUT...it is now 2024 and the epic battle of GOOD vs EVIL is becoming more visible!

Why are Republicans NOT loudly supporting Democrat Senator John Fetterman's demand that Democrat Senator BOB MENENDEZ be removed from Congress, after being indicted AGAIN last week, by the Dept of Justice?

Likewise, Republicans didn't add their support to Fetterman's demand for Bob Menendez to step down or be removed in Sept 2023, when he was indicted for accepting bribes from Egypt.

Why did Congressional Republicans easily jettison fellow Republican George Santos for doing things far less serious than what Bob Menendez has been (twice) arrested for?

Well, who would you boot out?

Every last one of them.

Sack the lot of them and get a decent AI model to take control .


They should be quaking in their boots at their well paid jigs being up

Those who want all members of Congress ejected are also OK with the Government Shutting Down in a couple of weeks?
