To be fair, Americans love the safety of a mediocre white guy.

And *I* have Arizona beachfront.

SOMEONE GET KAINE ON THE LINE!

Also, they pretty regularly got their asses kicked.

Ty Cobb learned that from him.

"Cleats?" Really, autocorrect?

Clearly, dammit.

Cleats when Ambrose Bierce decamped to Mexico he was bitten by a chupacabra and became a monster. Or maybe it was a capybara.

Fair enough. Appreciate the food for thought

I'm going to trust you on the interpretationof those sections. BUt, as you say, they concern the executive branch. Then where are the provisions in US Code (and/or the COTUS) that specify who CAN swear in Representatives? And, absent those provisions, what besides "binding precendent" prevents it?

I'm no lawyer, but there are multiple references in 2903 to officials authorized by local law. Your explainer doesn't really...well...explain why this doesn't apply to House members.

And, again, nothing to address the Constitution. What am I missing?

Nvm...saw the article link. Will return with questions. Thank you for sharing.

I see a flowchart that came from somewhere. When I looked at the House website on the issue it was unclear at best. And the Constitution says they must take an oath (content unspecified) but is silent on process. Unless you have specific references?

I feel so dirty. And not in a good way.

Pass on that, Mark. My dog has SEEN some SHIT.
