Under that scenario, which hasn’t happened since 1876, every state’s delegation gets a single vote. Who receives that vote is determined by an internal tally of each lawmaker in the delegation. This means the presidency may not be decided by the party that controls the House itself but by the one that controls more state delegations in the chamber. And right now, Republicans control 26 delegations to Democrats’ 22, with Pennsylvania tied and Michigan a 7-6 plurality for Democrats, with a 14th seat held by independent Justin Amash.

Who knows? Pelosi may not even be the speaker when that happens..
ReplyDeleteShe won't be sane when it happens.
DeleteYou are taking it for granted that she is sane now!
DeleteIts a Politico story that's all you need to know. Bring it.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, she will be. The Constitution says election of the President by the House is to take place "immediately", not after the new House is seated on January 14th.
ReplyDeleteBesides, with the Amy Barrett contretemps, Nancy will insist on holding the election immediately, "because we're elected for two years, not one so there".

ReplyDeleteThe next president won't be decided in The House. The decision will be made from the roof tops.
