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.

    They can even amend the Constitution with 2/3 majority.

    I think 3/4 of the states also need to ratify those amendments.

      3/4ths of the states are needed to pass an amendment over the federal government or perhaps in spite of the federal government too.
