Important Legal Redpill distinction:
When State Legislatures appoint a SLATE of their State's Electors, they aren't passing a law or a bill. So 99.999% of the rules, and laws which govern such normal procedures are completely irrelevant here.
Technically, they don't even all have to be in the same room to sign (though this is nice of course). The minimum required is:
-
the State Legislative members having been lawfully sworn into office,
-
that a quarum/majority of each branch (if bi-camberal) sign, and
-
make sure the Electors are legally qualified as per the US Constitution (a few requirements & restrictions).
A document as simple as:
"We the majority of members of the current State Legislature of ______ State; select this list of lawful persons as our Electors for the Dec 2020 voting by the Electors for POTUS & VP of the USA. Electors shall show up at ______ (usually the State Capital) at _____ time, on Dec 14th, 2020 to do their Constitutional Provided duty, is hereby
-
Name of #1 Elector
-
Name of #2 Elector
-
Name of #3 Elector
-
etc.
Signed
-
________ Name of _____ State Legislature Member #1 on ______ Date at ____ Place in ________ State (same as above).
-
<repeat>
Remember this is how the Founders put in the Constitution selects POTUS's and VPs, so it designed to work even with raging wars, civil wars, plagues, 99% illiteracy, spanning across continents/globe, without paved roads, empty governorships/executive offices, missing members, etc.
spez: So In PA's situation atm, this would be 13 PA State Senators of the 25 PA Senators elected in 2018 whom are sworn in; (if the certifications are still on hold from the Election on down ballot contests, including 100% of the PA House seats, and 50% of the PA Senate seats.)
