The House reconvened at 1:00 pm EST today for a Joint Session with the Senate to count and certify the Electoral College Ballots. The Vice President handed the state certificates to the tellers and the tellers then read the certificates from each state to the House chamber. The Vice President, at the conclusion of the reading of certificates, directed the tellers to deliver the results of the count. The Vice President announced the certified election results for the positions of President and Vice President of the United States - officially announcing Barack Obama the President-Elect and Joe Biden the Vice-President-Elect.

  • Cheney did not call for objections as is required by law.

    3 U.S.C. § 15, Congress is directed to be in session on the appropriate date to count the electoral votes for President, with the President of the Senate presiding. The statute further directs that the electoral votes be counted, and then the results be presented to the President of the Senate, who shall then announce the state of the vote. The statute then provides a mechanism for objections to be registered and resolved.

  • @BradleyTV4Life LOL! You took me SERIOUSLY??? GTFO!

  • @philipem01 no thank you for the laugh your stupid conspiracy theories are just that STUPID stop listening to Glenn Beck thank you.

  • @TitusSviatoslav ...and that objection must be in WRITING and signed by a member of each house and can only be based on a vote being improperly cast or certified, not based on who is named. And further if the entire election were held as null the House would immediately have proceeded to pick Obama as President, it being overwhelmingly Democrat at the time.

  • @vigilannie2 Sigh, get over it, he got elected. And if you really insist on the objections objection, read my fcuking posts where I show that by law objections must be in writing, signed by a member of each house, and can only object to VOTES cast improperly not to the people voted for. Finally if the objection had happened and been sustained then the House would have picked Obama overwhelmingly in electing a president. Oh Yeah. Impeach Cheney.

  • @BradleyTV4Life Hey thanks for the laugh, it's really funny to read the crap on this page now that we have Obama's long form birth certificate -- ooooo of course it too is a fake, and he's really an Arab counterintelligence agent. The FBI thought it would be good to have a non-citizen given illegal access to classified information and now the nuclear switch, so they ignored what they found when they got his birth records...and yeah, I was right, Cheney was in the tank for Obama.

  • @philipem01 complete and utter idiot

  • @TitusSviatoslav OMG do really believe the RUSSIANS give fcuk all about the US Constitution??? U are insane.

  • Cheney is just as guilty as Pelosi!!! ...for NOT asking for objections!
