Except Trump gets his powers back until the cabinet can meet and vote again, and have the result sent to Congress again. Then there’d be another stage where Trump was saying that process was illegitimate. . . I’m just saying it could take longer than a single evening, at least, unless everyone involved were committed to moving swiftly on the first steps, and then slowly on the last part. ---

> [@eschrodinger](#): > > unless everyone involved were committed to moving swiftly on the first steps I think that is the key point. It could be done quickly, IF But that IF isn’t happening. This is a perfect example of how originalist interpreters of the Constitution are full of shit. What possible damage could a deranged President Washington have done if he went insane overnight? ---

Watching the Senatorial and Congressional activities. Several Slytherin Senators have turned their backs on Voldemort, even Kelly freaking Loeffler and Linsday freaking Graham. Question in my mind, all this so far is only technically over ARIZONA. Wondering if theyr’e gonna go through this whole rigamarole of speeches etc all over again when they get to GEORGIA? Or if Mitch is gonna say “We just went through this…” and gets people to acknowledge that it’s been a long day and they want to go to sleep and whatnot and just vote w/o the damn speeches. ---

Can’t soon to be Minority Bitch Mitch do whatever he wants, bring up some archane rule to get it done quickly? Seems like he’s able to do whatever he wants for four years. ---

> [@Mike\_Mabes](#): > > Can’t soon to be Minority Bitch Mitch do whatever he wants, bring up some archane rule to get it done quickly? _If_ he could find one, he probably would. But meanwhile the flakes over at the House would just keep setting fires and demanding time to speak because that’s how they (t)roll and from that last vote, they strongly outnumber the sane Reps. ---
