The issue that must be resolved before anything can be acccomplished? [View all]

Who won the last election?

The Congress and the Senate needs to put it to a vote so they know exactly where they stand.

They need to do it immediately.

Nothing can get accomplished if there are Senators and Congressmen that still believe Donald Trump won the election. It needs to be put to a vote.

If the US Senate cannot agree that Joe Biden won the election fair and square and that he is the President of the United States, then we have a very big problem.

If Rand Paul can stand up and make a motion that the impeachment trial is "unconstitutional", then some Democrat should make a motion to verify Joe Biden as the duly elected President of the United States.

How many of them have bought into the Big Lie?

We need to know that information before we take another step forward.
