15. And I keep "Roll Call" (that also publishes the Congressional Quarterly)

in a tab and have that article and what I indicated is also in the subtitle of that linked article -

Scholars say House has options to carry out constitutional duty without a speaker


THAT is why I linked to what happened with the start of the 118th Congress that proceeded "without a Speaker" and even "without Rules". They had a SWORN officer - the Clerk - handle the administrative functioning of the proceedings.

THAT Jan 3rd, 2021 - Jan. 7th 2021 period was a big GRAY AREA that they made it through so there is prescendent for how to proceed.

But again, the SOH really has no role in the Certification process. The House "hosts" the process (because they are a big enough chamber to hold everyone and is usually the venue for a "Joint Session of Congress" ).

The media is INTENTIONALLY eliminating and erasing the current Vice President out of any role for some idiotic racist fucking reason.



HARRIS *IS* the PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE AND PRESIDES OVER THE ELECTORAL COUNT CERTIFICATION.
