Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) — stating she has “no faith” Johnson will “fulfill his constitutional obligations” as they pertain to certifying the 2024 election.
In an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, moderator Kristen Welker — who had just interviewed Johnson moments earlier — brought in Cheney and asked her to weigh in.
“You just heard how the House Speaker answered my questions about whether he would certify the election results,” Welker said. “Do you have faith that this election will be free and fair and that there will be a peaceful transfer of power?”
Cheney proceeded to voice a complete lack of confidence that Johnson would certify the election if former President Donald Trump lost.

Would not certifying the results mean that Joe Biden would remain as President? If they wanted to fuck around for too long, Biden could resign which would mean his Vice President would become President.
This is correct, and he would have
another 6 years left maximumhowever long he’s alive actually.Term limits only apply to the elections in the US, not time spent in office. The maximum amount of time anyone can spend as president and still be elected is one day less than 6 years.Edit: A lot of that is wrong
