But there's no reason to do that.

As you might recall from Impeachment Vol. I, the House very much can impeach and hold the articles for transmission to the Senate until whatever date the House pleases.

It makes absolutely zero sense not to have had the House vote already.

Maybe it was just a kumbaya move.

Two reasons they didn't hold the vote--They needed a unanimous consent the Republicans objected to; and over the weekend, the Capitol was under significant repair due to the insurrection. They are working on a congressionally initiated 25th Amendment which is based on a vote by impaneled Congressmen. They can present that document to Pence; if he demurs, I suppose Pelosi would be next in line. It might have to be vetted by the Supreme Court on 21 January or so--I saw this posited by scholars and the house is looking into it.

So the trumaloes already went berzerk and tried to hang him, what's gonna happen when Pence invokes the 25th?

“Generations from now, I want kids in history class to ask why Pence was potus for like a week, and be explained it’s cuz Mercia is a nation that rejects fascism”

Probably we'd find out what Trump/Putin has on him. Everyone in his orbit had something he could hold over their head. We actually have threats of nationwide attacks this weekend. We need some strong preparations now.

not sure about this buuut...

Pretty sure it's unavailable.

What I'm guessing is Ous posted the tweet going around about the State Department having a press release of some sort that says Trump's term ends at like 7:49pm EST on 1/11. Pence also the same as well.

https://www.state.gov/biographies/donald-j-trump/

Here’s the link, but that was taken down too.

It was Trump’s bio on the state dept page. And it just said Trump’s term ends tonight

The internet never forgets.

But fwiw it’s prob some state department intern with the password to the back end of the website, and we’re being punked?

Has anybody tried typing the website link? I think it's inaccurate.

where is Anonymous?

terrible precedent lulz

Pence is in a win win situation because he knows impeachment is coming anyway.

sounds like mcconnell might now support impeachment

Funny thing I saw on my drive home. On the side of a not highly used highway, there is a sign that has been up that says Trump Pence Keep America Great. Ya know the big blue sign that shows that..

Well driving home yesterday, the Pence part had Duct Tape all over it to cover his name so that only Trump is the one showing.

What buffoons.

I suspect he knows more than we do about the complicity of certain elements of the GOP (and perhaps White House) in what happened last week.

Love how the GOP party members are bitching about walking through detectors to show up to work. Which should kind of be required to enter a federal building.

But this is Pelosi's and Biden's "New America"

What pathetic babies.

similar to those republican members that couldn’t be bothered to mask up

glad the powers that be put an end to that nonsense
