Remember when Mike Johnson had no problem swearing in a Republican (I forget who) when they were in the lead and before all the votes were counted? Yeah.

Your issue is that you think they believe they serve the people. They know who they serve and it isn’t the public

Honestly what needs to happen is for the Dems to say fck it we’re doing it anyway. Swear her in. Hold the vote and proceed as normal. I get that this is abandoning procedure and decorum but the fascist takeover is here and happening. Time to go against the grain a bit and put them on the back foot.

Is there no law or automatic procedure that allows her in? It just sucks when you realize more and more because of Trump just how poorly constructed the framework of this country is. Like the foundation ideas were good but man such much of it just seems like we rely on the on honor system way too much. None of this should be things that are legally allowed to happen.

While it’s traditional for the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives to swear in new members en masse at the beginning of a Congress (or individually if they arrive later), the Speaker is not the only person authorized to administer the oath.
The oath of office for Members of Congress is the same oath taken by all federal officials under 5 U.S.C. § 3331, and it can be administered by any authorized official. That includes:
• Any federal judge
• Other Members of Congress (if delegated)
• The Vice President (as President of the Senate, though usually only swears in Senators)
• Other officials legally empowered to administer oaths, such as notaries public or court clerks, depending on circumstances.
That said, for the House specifically:
• The Speaker normally administers the oath in the Chamber to maintain order and tradition.
• If a new Representative cannot be present, the House sometimes authorizes another official to administer the oath outside the Chamber (for example, in a district or hospital), and then the new Member must later appear before the House so their presence can be recorded.
👉 In short: The Speaker usually swears in Representatives, but others may do it if the House authorizes it or if circumstances require.
