Not deleting this account, but I think I'll mostly be over at Bluesky from now on. The vibe over there has trended close enough to ~ 2015 Twitter that it seems a better fit.
Come find me over there (same handle)!

The House "cannot collude with the president to deprive the Senate of its constitutional power to advise and consent on appointments. That would make a mockery of the Constitution’s text," Akhil Reed Amar, @joshchafetz, and Thomas P. Schmidt write: theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

Akhil Amar, Tom Schmidt, and I have a piece in the Atlantic on why Trump + the GOP House cannot adjourn the Senate against its will in order to give Trump recess appointments. (Gift link) theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

In January West Virginia will have 4 different governors in 10 days!
On Jan 3 Gov Jim Justice (R) will leave office to be worn in as a US Senator.
Current LG/Senate President Craig Blair (R), who lost re-election, will be governor from Jan 3-8.
The winner of GOP caucus race between Sens. Tom Takubo, Randy Smith & Eric Tarr will replace Blair as Senate President/Acting Governor from Jan 8-13.
Newly elected #WVGov Patrick Morrisey (R) then gets sworn in on Jan 13.
Race for Senate president comes down to Randy Smith, Tom Takubo and Eric Tarr - WV MetroNews wvmetronews.com/2024/11/13/r…

(This was my job-talk paper, in fact, and I got a *ton* of pushback about why I would write about a topic with basically no practical significance.)
Holy cow, of course @joshchafetz has an entire law review piece on whether Members of the House have the right to resign their seats.

Niche post, but ...
If Casey pulls this out, I think Todd Young will be the Joe Manchin of the 119th?
I'll be honest: if you'd told me that Harris was going to lose all 7 swing states, no way I'd have believed that Dems would have held the Senate seats in at least 4 of the 5 of those states that had Senate elections.
