[국제]The opening of the 117th Congress in the US…

The 117th Congress of the United States was launched to oversee legislation and check the executive branch over the next two years.

The Senate and House of Representatives, who were elected in the parliamentary elections held in conjunction with the presidential election in November last year, began their official terms in the parliament convened at noon on the 3rd local time.

In particular, Congress is ahead of the verification of the results of the president-elect Joe Biden’s victory at the Senate-Household joint meeting on the 6th.

However, Republican Congressman Mo Brooks has announced his willingness to appeal, and Senator Josh Howley has also declared to join.

In addition, 11 Republican senators, including senior Ted Cruz, made a statement a day earlier and announced that they would oppose the results of the electoral vote, which Biden-elect won at the joint meeting.

Biden won the 11th and 3rd presidential elections, and even in the state elections vote, a formal procedure reflecting this, he won 306 vs. 232 people, consistent with the presidential election results.

The final procedure, the two-house joint meeting, will certify these results and announce the winners.

In this process, if more than one objection is raised by the Senate and the House of Representatives, a debate is conducted to determine whether to exclude the electoral vote from the certification of a specific state by a vote.

There is virtually no possibility of passing an objection despite opposition from some of the Republicans. The Democratic Party in the House of Representatives is the majority party, and the Senate led by the Republican Party is also negative to the objection.
