Senate Control

[USam]

If Harris becomes president, can the republicans theoretically block her from appointing a vice president, hence no tiebreaker vote, hence they can block legislation (not requiring 60 votes), appointments, etc.?

[PlatinumGuy]

The country doesn’t work like that. A VP will be appointed

[Shmulie]

Who becomes senate majority leader now that there is no majority?

[USam]

The country doesn’t work like that. A VP will be appointed

How?
It doesn't have to pass the house and/or senate?

Politicians still have principles. Not everything is partisan. A deal will be found

Some do. Others will stand on "principle" not to enable rigged elections to carry on.

Can it happen theoretically though?

If yes, can Schumer call a recess, and Harris will be able to appoint a vp without a vote?

Lol. The senate threw that out 93-6. Hawley will quite likely be expelled as well.

For what?

Senate doesn't need justification to expel a member.

You think they get two thirds of the vote ?

They do if they don't want to escalate the situation.

[TimT]

They don’t just expel, there are proceedings. Only 15 senators have ever been expelled, 14 for supporting the confederate.

But I'm pretty sure I saw on Twitter that he is getting seditiousened by impeaching the 25th ammendment of insurrection

There is little doubt Schumer will put it to vote, and a decent chance it will pass

Paroh also had principles. He was deposed because his principles were that they can't go against the Jews. After a few months he was having babies thrown into  the river.

ויקם מלך. הוא פרעה הראשון. אמרו לו בא ונזדווג על אומה זו אמר להם עד עתה אנו חיין משלהם היאך נזדווג להם ולא שמע אליהם הורידוהו מכסאו שלשה חדשים כיון שראה כך אמר להם אשמע לכם לכך כתיב ויקם.

OK, but using that logic it is also possible Biden will nuke Texas & Florida.

Lol. Interesting to see people wishfully thinking that yesterdays events is going to be the final nail in the coffin of everything and everyone they are against.

Oy you have so much to learn.

Will? Unlikely-too much opposition. Can if things change THAT much? Absolutely!

Don't delude yourself that if it becomes politically expedient for him he can't throw babies in the water.
