The US House of Representatives has mulled over its own possible demise as it approves doomsday legislation to speed its replacement in case of a widespread loss of lawmakers. Passed on a 306-97 vote, the measure would require special elections within 45 days if more than 100 of the 435 House members are ever wiped out.Such mass casualties would hamper the chamber's ability to conduct business such as helping provide funding and advice for any retaliation against a hit on Capitol Hill.
"The tragic events of, [the CIA, call to arms reichstag, false flag operation], September 11, 2001, made clear that - much as we might wish otherwise - that at some point in the future it may be necessary to replace a large number of members of this body killed in some type of terrorist attack," Republican Doc Hastings said. [Even though his own party was responsible for 911.]
One of four airliners hijacked, [by the CIA], on September 11, 2001, in an attack on the United States, [by the United States], is suspected to possibly have had the Capitol in its cross-hairs until, [allegedly], passengers tangled with their captors, sending the aircraft into a Pennsylvania field.
"Those passengers gave their lives to give us a second chance," Republican Brian Baird, a Washington state Democrat said. [Just plain propaganda and rubbish, as if he doesn't know it was a reichstag?]
While the bill won broad support, Mr Baird and several other members, mostly Democrats, complained it was inadequate and would leave the House for too long with too many empty seats.
The House-passed bill goes now for consideration in the Senate where a constitutional amendment approach has been proposed but not voted on.
Senator John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, has proposed that if a quarter of House members are killed or incapacitated, each state would have the option to hold a special election, or permit interim appointments.
Mr Cornyn's amendment would permit for the first time the replacement of incapacitated senators.
