2000 election thrown into congress

[OSR stands with Israel]

My Prediction Bush wins in the House while Lieberman wins in the Senate

[MATTROSE94]

Who would Governor John Rowland have appointed to Joe Leiberman's Senate seat?

[NewYorkExpress]

Bush wins in the House, and I suspect there'd be a backroom deal cut to give Cheney the Vice Presidency.

That said it's far more legitimate than letting the Supreme Court (Florida or National) decide, since this is Congress job in the first place.

Who would Governor John Rowland have appointed to Joe Leiberman's Senate seat?

Probably Rell, or Shays

[Sumner 1868]

This would be much more controversial than anything the Supreme Court did.

[NeverAgain]

I feel like if Congress would vote, House or Senate. Bush would win.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Until and unless Jeffords switched, there would be no Vice President if the Senate voted on party lines.  It takes a majority of the whole number, i.e., 51 Senators to elect a Vice President.

Gore would break the tie for Lieberman

[zorkpolitics]

I do not think Gore (or any VP) would not be eligible to vote for a VP.   The Constitution requires "a majority of the whole number of Senators", since the VP is not a senator his vote woudl not count.
