TITLE 3 - THE PRESIDENT

CHAPTER 1 - PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AND VACANCIES



-HEAD-

Sec. 15. Counting electoral votes in Congress



-STATUTE-

Congress shall be in session on the sixth day of January

succeeding every meeting of the electors. The Senate and House of

Representatives shall meet in the Hall of the House of

Representatives at the hour of 1 o'clock in the afternoon on that

day, and the President of the Senate shall be their presiding

officer. Two tellers shall be previously appointed on the part of

the Senate and two on the part of the House of Representatives, to

whom shall be handed, as they are opened by the President of the

Senate, all the certificates and papers purporting to be

certificates of the electoral votes, which certificates and papers

shall be opened, presented, and acted upon in the alphabetical

order of the States, beginning with the letter A; and said tellers,

having then read the same in the presence and hearing of the two

Houses, shall make a list of the votes as they shall appear from

the said certificates; and the votes having been ascertained and

counted according to the rules in this subchapter provided, the

result of the same shall be delivered to the President of the

Senate, who shall thereupon announce the state of the vote, which

announcement shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the

persons, if any, elected President and Vice President of the United

States, and, together with a list of the votes, be entered on the

Journals of the two Houses. Upon such reading of any such

certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for

objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and

shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground

thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member

of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received.

When all objections so made to any vote or paper from a State shall

have been received and read, the Senate shall thereupon withdraw,

and such objections shall be submitted to the Senate for its

decision; and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, in

like manner, submit such objections to the House of Representatives

for its decision; and no electoral vote or votes from any State

which shall have been regularly given by electors whose appointment

has been lawfully certified to according to section 6 of this title

from which but one return has been received shall be rejected, but

the two Houses concurrently may reject the vote or votes when they

agree that such vote or votes have not been so regularly given by

electors whose appointment has been so certified. If more than one

return or paper purporting to be a return from a State shall have

been received by the President of the Senate, those votes, and

those only, shall be counted which shall have been regularly given

by the electors who are shown by the determination mentioned in

section 5 of this title to have been appointed, if the

determination in said section provided for shall have been made, or

by such successors or substitutes, in case of a vacancy in the

board of electors so ascertained, as have been appointed to fill

such vacancy in the mode provided by the laws of the State; but in

case there shall arise the question which of two or more of such

State authorities determining what electors have been appointed, as

mentioned in section 5 of this title, is the lawful tribunal of

such State, the votes regularly given of those electors, and those

only, of such State shall be counted whose title as electors the

two Houses, acting separately, shall concurrently decide is

supported by the decision of such State so authorized by its law;

and in such case of more than one return or paper purporting to be

a return from a State, if there shall have been no such

determination of the question in the State aforesaid, then those

votes, and those only, shall be counted which the two Houses shall

concurrently decide were cast by lawful electors appointed in

accordance with the laws of the State, unless the two Houses,

acting separately, shall concurrently decide such votes not to be

the lawful votes of the legally appointed electors of such State.

But if the two Houses shall disagree in respect of the counting of

such votes, then, and in that case, the votes of the electors whose

appointment shall have been certified by the executive of the

State, under the seal thereof, shall be counted. When the two

Houses have voted, they shall immediately again meet, and the

presiding officer shall then announce the decision of the questions

submitted. No votes or papers from any other State shall be acted

upon until the objections previously made to the votes or papers

from any State shall have been finally disposed of.

George W. Bush the Psuedo Conservative

George Bush was the worst president this country has ever seen.  I know there are plenty of conservatives that would ask me to take a look at Obama, but in my book he's running a close second.  However, he is on pace to overtake Bush for that title within his first year. 

I feel much more betrayed by Bush than Obama though.  After all, Obama had written books about his plans for socializing medicine, and his facinations with socialism and communism.  No one would've guessed that George W. Bush would invest our hard earned tax dollars into Wall St. to bail out a bunch of people

"I've abandoned free market principles to save a free market system." - George W. Bush

When the leader of the Republican Party spouts this sort of nonsense, you can bet socialists have infected the Republican Party heirarchy.  With socialism already well established in the Democrat party under the guise of liberalism, it's clear the "Big 2" no longer offer a choice.  Both parties apparently now think the government should run healthcare, auto industry, banks, etc.  It's painfully obvious that while our current "leader" may be twisting the knife in America's back, Bush is the one who put the knife there.

With Bush's bailouts, precedents were set.  It's unbelievable what Bush did.  No sane person (who's paying attention) would have this man as a leader.  Not only did he forget how to spell VETO, even when Democrats were in charge, he managed to DOUBLE the spending of Bill Clinton under his watch even if you exclude wartime expenditures.  Clearly, Bush is not a fiscal conservative, and unworthy of much of the praise he receives. 

HI DoH finally stepped in it.

This will be interesting, Andrew Breitbart is calling out Attorney General Eric Holder.  That Obamaton might actually do his job and investigate ACORN, but I doubt it.

Birds of a feather flock together, and so do crooks, which is why Obama keeps hiring them.

Even if you believe Obama loves this country, I don't see how you can believe he's capable of running it. Page 32, middle of left column is where you'll find the name of the Ft. Hood Mass Murderer.

I'd like an answer to Rep. Lamar Smith's question, "How can they claim that enforcement is 'done' when there are more than 400 open miles of border with Mexico, hundreds of thousands of criminal and fugitive aliens and millions of illegal immigrants taking American jobs?"

The Wrong Side of History

A phrase I've been hearing a lot more lately is, "I don't want to be on the wrong side of history." I can't think of a more ridiculous argument to defend any position. Think about what our Forefathers did, sticking their necks out, subjecting themselves to treason if we didn't win our revolutionary war. What would've happened if they were afraid of being on the wrong side of history?

I'm still trying to find in The Constitution how Congress has the power to take over the healthcare industry. Looks like a blatant disregard for the 10th Ammendment, just like medicaid, social security, welfare, etc.

I can't wrap my head around the opposition's thought process on this one. Illegal aliens will be scared to report crimes? They're scared anyway because they are here ILLEGALY! I don't care if the cop stopped him for j-walking or littering, if he's defying our immigration laws, he's breaking the law, making him a criminal. We have laws against this stuff for a reason, j-walking, littering, and illegal immigration. All of these activities do nothing good for our community.
