12th amendment
On 6 Jan 2021, the votes of the electoral college will be counted in a joint session of Congress. Disputes about the votes will be addressed, if they exist (and if no general election is held, I'd imagine there would be plenty!).
Once that ends, if nobody has an absolute majority of votes, the Nancy Pelosi-led House of Representatives immediately goes into session and votes for President (the Senate votes for Vice President).
President Trump needs to win a fair election to continue being President.
- tropo 7y agoIt would be the new house, not the old one, and it is only permitted to choose from the candidates offered by the electors. Also, does January 6th have to exist? By law, we could shorten January to just 5 days. We could compensate by lengthening March. There would never again be a January 6th.
