3. Remember in Fahrenheit 9-11? When no Senator joined the House black caucus members

Mon Nov 5, 2012, 07:27 PM

Nov 2012

It takes at least one senator, and no senator joined the objection from some House members. There was a clip of Maxine Waters, I think, saying "Will not one single Senator" etc..

Even Gore could have, as President of the Senate. (A weird wrinkle due to the fact the President and VP take over a few weeks after the incoming Congress does. Gore was still Senate President as VP even though the Senate was the new Senate.)
