Already insane, UAA making it worse
Joint Session beginning now.
The new state will get two senators and three electoral votes (based on the population of the new state). The remaining federal district will still have its 3 electoral votes as prescribed by the 23rd amendment -- effectively giving the occupants of the White House the same say in the electoral college as a small state. Some would consider that a problem with the statehood plan that was previously passed by the house.
It would require the White House occupants to register as D.C. residents, correct? Not that they wouldn't do so (they'd be foolish not to).
That would, by default, make the FLOTUS, and any adult children over the age of 25 for the House, and 30 for the Senate, who'd be willing to relocate their lives into the White House. Can anybody other than the POTUS's family take up residence there? How would they fill those seats if the POTUS has a small family, not enough children old enough to serve (see: Presidents Clinton, GWB, and Obama)?
Of course it’s Ted Cruz...
Holy ****, Nancy is kicking *** and taking names.
More impressed with Pence shutting down the gong show by repeatedly reiterating that debates are not allowed during this joint session when one rep got fiesty at the start of this due to Pelosi's social distancing reminder.
