      Basically, if a Speaker is not elected by January 6th, which may very well happen given that several Republicans in the House currently do not support Mike Johnson, it will be the first time in US history that a Speaker hasn’t be elected by the Presidential electoral vote certification. Without a Speaker and any House members sworn in, electoral vote certification *cannot* happen in the joint session of Congress. We would be in unprecedented territory, and no one knows exactly what would happen. If a Speaker has not been elected by January 20th (Inauguration Day), we would be without a President, and the most likely scenario is that the President *pro tempore* of the Senate (probably 91-year old Chuck Grassley) would have to resign his Senate seat to act as President until a Speaker can be elected.

      I have a large stash of popcorn ready. Also, the Vice President certifies the Election.

      I’m not worried, because President Musk will tell them what to do.

      This is so ironic! Democrats should stage a “peaceful protest” at the Capitol.
