"Section 5 of the Constitution says the House and Senate "shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members."
Could you see a scenario, depending on what they find in their probe, of unseating of the current member and seating Rita Hart?
- Pelosi: "... there could be a scenario to that extent."
Despite the Constitutional provision, it’s nearly unheard of to remove a member mid-stream....but with Miller-Meeks and Hart, Democrats may be willing to override local election officials when it benefits their side.
Democrats now hold a narrow 220-211 majority. The Senate is likely to confirm Rep. Deb Haaland (D-NM) as Interior Secretary on Monday. The Democratic majority will shrink to 219-211. Democrats will only be able to lose three votes on their side and still prevail on a vote without assistance from the other side.
"Would Pelosi have the votes to unseat Miller-Meeks and install Hart? Hard to say...."
Pelosi has shown she will do ANYTHING to void elections, unseat Republicans, and increase Democrats' majority in the House.
Thought the 2020 elections were over? Pelosi swings door open to unseating a Republican member
