And then do the two bodies have to meet for two hours or do they meet for a maximum of two hours?

2. No, it shouldn't delay the "certification" of Biden's election

How can a news person say such lies. The electoral votes have been certified in each state. We the people spoke with our votes and those votes stand. For a nation news person to say otherwise is garbage and wrong. Come on, my blood pressure can't deal with this garbage. These people are dead wrong.

They can't seem to really pay attention to the new administration and avert eyes from the trainwreck.

11. It'll delay the Congressional counting, which is usually just a formality...

but thanks to these trump sycophants, at his encouragement we must add, it has become a grandstanding clown show.

It won't, however, delay the Jan. 20 inauguration.

I understand that for each written complaint from a House member, backed by a US Senator, has to be considered separately with each requiring a two-hour discussion/debate in each house of Congress. And they can't be done concurrently. They have to be done, as I said, separately. If there are several written complaints the whole process can drag out for a while, maybe into the next day.

"for about 2 hours". But you're right, it's fear-mongering by MSNBC.

Are these dirtbag politicians are kissing trumps ass to try and get in line for 2024 to garner the attention of the MAGA morons to see them being a viable alternative to Trump. Of course they’re assuming that people aren’t thoroughly disgusted with Trump which probably won’t take more than a few months after he’s thrown out on his ass
