jack watson, the house courier drives to the white house. he passes the guarded gates.long the drive to the west wing, which is the center of executive power and where the president transacts his business. the president signs the bill and it becomes a law of the land. however, sometimes the president refuses to sign a bill which he does not approve, this is called a veto and the president usually prepares a veto message which explains his reason. the vetoed ill and message are sent back to congress, and this ends the matter unless congress can pass the bill over the veto by a two thirds vote of both houses. and then it becomes a law without the president signature. the president can also appear in person before a joint session of congress to explain a veto, or to propose new legislation. congress is then free to accept or reject the president's suggestions and then it starts all over again. the great lawmaking assembly line goes on, passing bills, creating laws as diversified as the nation's life itself. construction, labor, defense,

the longest in-house. once the speaker is sworn in and the speaker swears in the newly elected members of the house of representatives. it will take some time because early groups of 72 are to come to the floor at once. what happens is the house continues electing other officers, eventually they will adopt their rules, which will probably happen tomorrow. at some point, the house will pass a resolution to count the electoral vote. >> the speaker will also give a speech. is that a tradition that has always taken place? question it has taken place for many years. it is always interesting to watch that speech because it is an opportunity for the speaker to do a number of things. she can set the legislative agenda, things that she wants congress to do. she can talk about her role as speaker and what the job of speakership means. it is a way to give a state of the address. it is an important speech. twist today is isla's second district. explain for viewers who have not been paying attention. this is a race that

republican members of the house today. members of the senate this afternoon, started getting safety briefings about what the president's supporters are planning in terms of attacking the inauguration next week. "huffington post" was first to report on the police briefings to lawmakers. saying in part that the lawmakers were told about one demonstration which three members said was by far the most concerning plot that would involve insurrection. forming a perimeter around the capitol and the white house and the supreme court and then blocking democrats from entering the capitol, perhaps even killing them, so that republicans could take control of the government. house democrats were given that security briefing by police yesterday. house republicans and senators were briefed today. nbc news now reports that part of the briefing all the members have received is a reminder that each member of congress is allowed to use congressional funds to pay for expenses incurred to physically protect that member of congress. specifically,

the street. these are also house office buildings. i was outside before the joint session started and they were closing off the plaza. there has been a radical misinformation that's been going on, trying to figure out what happened, but there is a coterie of numbers, bill huizinga coming across the street and they said, they're closing off the plaza, they're not letting anybody in. i said, even the members? they said, yes. i want the long way across the other side of the street and went that way. right now they're not allowing anybody. they're very concerned about this issue. i should point out that right now since i've been on the air, the senate has recessed subject to the call of the chair. we are not quite sure if that is because of the security issue as they go through the debate or if may be they're done without debate. you don't have to consume the entire two hour window, the house of representatives. paul gosar who is a republican congressman, he was the lead petitioner launching this challenge to the arizona slate of electoral

we'll continue to monitor the house floor. o back to one of the republican lawmakers we heard on the house floor ranking republican on the house rules committee quoted you earlier. here is a bit of what he said, jonathan. let's listen back. >> professor jonathan turley is correct when he called this a quote dangerous snap impeachment. an impeachment that effectively would go to a vote without the deliberation or inquiries of the traditional hearing. professor turley also noted that, quote, the damage caused by the rioters this week was enormous. however, it will pale in comparison to the damage from a new precedent of a snap impeachment, unquote. >> sandra: jonathan, as we see this process play out i go back to andy mccarthy's piece from this morning. saying republicans should not be duped like they were last time. they should demand a commitment from speaker pelosi that if the house approves an article of impeachment she will immediately appoint managers and transmit the article to the senate whose rules require a trial forth

that's the u.s. house of representatives debating legislation to impeach president donald trump for the 2nd time let's listen in to a crime scene and we wouldn't be here if it weren't for the present of united states on wednesday january 6th congress gathered here to fulfill our constitutional duty tallying the electoral college victory of president elect biden and vice president elect terrorists after a free and fair election this is largely a ceremonial role for the congress and one that sends a message to the world that democracy in the united states persists. but in a rally just a mile and a half down pennsylvania avenue donald trump and his allies were stoking the anger of a violent mob a member of this very body proclaimed on that stage today is the day american patriots started taking down names and kicking ass tribes personal attorney rudy giuliani called for trial by combat then donald trump told the crowd we're going to have to fight might much harder you will never take back our country with wea

when he came to the white house the white house didn't really have a guest suite. ey just had a spare room with a bunch of different furniture. so mary todd lincoln purchases a suite of furniture for the room. the lincoln bedroom is supposedly very haunts. reagan's dog would reportedly not cross the threshold and go into the room. here is the lincoln bedroom. this is a little later, probably in the late 19th century. it is still a bedroom at that time. some of the presidents used this furniture for their own presidential suites. here you see this suite of furniture that mary todd lincoln purchased. it is called the lincoln bed. it is because it is eight feet long and six feet wide. most people just assumed well, the bed is eight feet long so he must have slept in it, right? he did not. it was supposed today be for visiting distinguished guests. so even though it is called the lincoln bed, he didn't sleep in it. but there was presidents that did. theodore roosevelt, calvin coolidge. other presidents used it, just not lincoln. truman repurposes the space as the lincol

republicans in the house and the senate. when a poison like that enters your political system and you say and do nothing about it, then you are more than complicit. that means you actually want that poison in your politics because you believe it will help you. congressman jason crow will join us later in this hour to discuss what it means to be going to work every day with a member of the house of representatives who has advocated for the assassination of the house speaker. it is into that poisoned system on the republican side of congress that joe biden will be sending the legislation he needs to pass to do what he promised america he will do. but before biden legislation begins to move in the congress, the president is already doing job one by executive order, which is undo the damage that trump has done. >> it's been a busy week, and i've signed executive orders tackling covid-19, the economic and climate crises as well as advancing racial equity. but today i'm about to sign two executive orders, basically

floor privileges in the house and the senate chamber extend only to members of the house and senate in a very smaand a very of staff. most of the tens of thousands of people who work on the staff of the house of representatives and the senate never step foot on the floor of either chamber. not once. and that very strict policy on floor privileges has always given those of us who have ever had floor privileges the feeling that we were in the safest place in the world. until wednesday afternoon when donald trump sent his supporters to the capitol. these are the people who apparently believed that every trump lie beginning with the lies about barack obama's birth in 2011, including the lies about mexico paying for the wall, and the last lie that donald trump told those people on wednesday. >> after this we're going to walk down, and i'll be there with you, we're going to walk down -- we're going to walk down -- any one you want, but i think right here -- we're going to back dowalk down to the capi we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not

of a rule one the chair declares the house in recess shub for the call of the chair. well that was. a debate on the rules of the debate on whether to invoke the 25th amendment let's get some analysis from our listeners mike hanna who's been listening in along with us he's in washington d.c. mike what do you make of what we've heard. well it is expected then their positions are generally expected you've had a number of republicans who are objecting to the rule that says the measures by which the vote will take place in the coming hour or coming hours. generally there has been massive support in the house for this whole process to go forward the democrats remembering control the house what is needed both in the vote on the rule which you heard there got an easy majority simply by a voice vote when the vote is taken on the actual motion that the house will pass that is likely to be seeing votes counted but very clearly the house majority is in favor of passing this motion of calling on the vice president mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment to call together his cabinet get 2 thirds

we have the house, we have the senate, we have the white house and we are going to roll in do somethingbout racism for the first time in my lifetime. we are going to make everybody that calls themselves the new name of the ku klux klan, they are going under a terrorist watch and they are going to be dismantled and we are going to put them in gitmo, that's where they need to go. we want to end racism and that's a good start by making this country finally great. it's never been great. what did he say, make america great again? we need to make american normal for once. i would love this country for everybody to live peaceably. we will open the borders up, take care of daca. we are going to reverse everything that the orange man destroyed. have a good day. host: all right, mary. on to sue in michigan. what are your thoughts and reactions to what the house is considering? do you agree? caller: i don't agree with it. they are trying to distract from the dni report that came out because that has some not very good news about it against the election. i think a lot of them committed treason and

the white house has no comment on all of this. nator chuck schumer, the top democrat in the senate, he's tweeted, quote, hey, senator ted cruz and his gang, you want to investigate election fraud, start with this. now, that's a reference to an effort from senator cruz, a number of other republicans, who say they are going to object next week when a joint session of congress officially counts the electoral votes from the 2020 presidential election. cruz says he also wants a commission to look into all of this, and audit the results of the election. >> we've got a vote on january 6th on certification and every member of congress faces a dilemma, two pretty lousy choices. one, we can vote to certify, not consider any objections. if we do that, that will be heard by a lot of american as saying we don't think voter fraud is a real concern. >> there's a growing number of republican and democratic senators who are rejecting that effort. ten this morning just wrote, quote, further attempts to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 presid

it's a question for the house. that's why we came to the full house. this house, with the cooperation, i may say, of mr. rogers, and all of the members, has done its due diligence. above and beyond. and we have concluded without question that the waiver is appropriate, lloyd austin will be an outstanding secretary of defense. he deserves this waiver. and our country deserves a fully confirmed secretary of defense as soon as we can possibly get that done. which for the purposes of the house is now. with that, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: all time for debate has expired. pursuant to the order of the house for today, the previous question is ordered on the bill. the question is on engrossment and third reading of the bill. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. third reading. the clerk: a bill to provide for an exception to a limitation against appointment of persons as secretary of defense within seven years of relief from active duty as a regular commissioned officer of the armed forces. the speaker

of the house resolution 8 the house stands adjourned to 9 am tomorrow so the house then of journal mind tomorrow that resolution is being presented as before the hosts we have heard one objection that let's cross back to see castro who is on capitol hill for us heidi if you could just explain there's a lot of procedural a lot of procedural things in there but we did hear that resolution 21 calling on mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment just explain what's happened what this means and what's likely to follow sure. this is a very rapid fire of course so this is the pro forma session of congress so we didn't see you know those debates that our viewers they have been used to which is all expected and what happened here was democrats tried to present for unanimous consent that resolution calling for the 25th amendment to be invoked by vice president mike pence and you need only heard a republican representative from virginia object to that which strikes the measure down and it wasn't unanimous democrats will respond or expecting that now tomorrow they'll bring up the same resolution up t

just quickly tell us about the first day at the white house. >> look, the first day of the white house really was a day of action paired we did not get a chance to move around much and look at offices and do those things because president biden has been very clear trying to focus on getting things done and coming in not necessarily underdogs but so much to do that we hit the ground running and then you saw him go from the capital to signing events to the memorial to pay his due respect to fallen soldiers and those men and women who serve and he did it along with three other presidents and then you saw him come to the white house and start signing executive actions. i think the staff following him is leading by example and that we will just hunker down and get work done. for me i'm following suit. after that i will be back in my office trying to get work done. >> on that, where is your office? will you be in the west wing today? >> i will be. >> what office did you snag? there's always a lot of jockeying for the best offices so where did they set you up? >> all i know is on the west win

guest: i served in the house. of the things that motivated me to run in the house was what motivated me to run for the senate. taken.d more than we i think we are hurting the value of our currency. i think we are putting our nation at risk. for people my age to dump on young people the obligations that we have failed to pay for or are unwilling to pay for. when i was out of the u.s. house between then and now, i served on something called the committee for a responsible federal budget. it's a bipartisan group that has a fabulous staff, a fabulous research staff and they continue .o send me materials when i was out of congress i became increasingly alarmed about how much we are spending without a willingness to pay for it. when our senior senator michael enzi decided to retire, that is when i decided to jump into this race. alan, little rock, arkansas, independent line. caller: thank you. for the peoplee of congress. just a quick reference to the , they have the best journalist, people that listen in. they are so su

this is still the people's house. as we reconvene in this chamber, the world will witness the resilience and strength of our .emocracy even in the wake of unprecedented violence and vandalism in the capital, the elected representatives of the people of the united states have assembled again on the very same day to support and defend the constitution of the united states. may god bless the lost, the injured, and the heroes forged on this day. hereod bless all who serve and those who protect this place and may god bless the united states of america. let's get back to work.

the clerk of the house: the house will be in order. the house will be in order. the honorable nancy pelosiate o -- ornia has received 216 the honorable kevin mccarthy of the state of california has received 209. the honorable tammy duckworth of the state of illinois has received one vote. the honorable that keem jeffries of the state of new york has received one vote. therefore, the honorable nancy pelosi of the state of california having received a majority of the votes cast is dual elected speaker of the house of representatives for the 117th congress. the clerk of the house: the clerk follows the following committee to escort the speaker-elect to the chair. the gentleman from maryland, mr. hoyer, the gentleman from california, mr. mccarthy, the gentleman from south carolina, mr. clyburn, the gentleman from louisiana, mr. scalise, the gentlewoman from massachusetts, ms. clark, the gentlewoman from wyoming, ms. cheney, the gentleman from new york, mr. jeffies, the gentleman from minnesota, mr. emmer, the gentleman from california, mr. aguilar, the gentleman from

then there's the fourth group. house republican leader kevin mccarthy, who said today that joe biden was legitimate, that it was not the american way to say he's not legitimate and we need to work together, as if kevin mccarthy has not been fueling these lies, spreading these lies. it makes you wonder. he knows when he goes on fox we can see him, right? he literally put out a tweet in november after the election, far from over, republicans will not back down from this battle two days after the election, mccarthy said on fox president trump won this election, so everyone who is listening, do not be quiet. we cannot allow this to happen before our very eyes. i'm sorry, kevin, but we all saw you say that. you can't pretend now that you didn't let the genie out of the bottle. >> the thing that was missing from every one of those categories that you just laid out there is something that is really basic, which is those who did say that the election was stolen, those who propagated that, who fed and enabled the lies of the pres

the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. the chair lays before the house a communication from the speaker. the clerk: the speaker's rooms, washington, d.c. january 11, 2021. i hereby appoint the honorable debbie dingell to act as speaker pro tempore on this day. signed, nancy pelosi, speaker of the house of representatives. the speaker pro tempore: the prayer will be offered by chaplain kibben. chaplain kibben: would you pray with me. merciful god we enter these chambers with the sense both of uncertainty and of indignation. the event of last week, the destruction, the damage, and the death of our fellow americans are deeply disturbing. the seed of discontent were sown across our country and we have reaped the whirlwind. almighty god, speak into this storm. allow your holy spirit to descend upon the chaos and minister to our hearts. still our fears that we would remain firm in our resolve. still our anger, that we would yield ourself to your gracious design for this nation. lord, vindicate your intent for us to serve as repre

i was in the house gallery. ve that opportunity to watch the peaceful transition of power. we knew that the protesters, we thought they were demonstrators, but we knew that they were outside. we were getting reports that they were getting louder and more angry and more agitated. we knew that capitol police had had some encounters. and i was seated in the gallery. i got up and stood at one of the doors to the gallery because i was just very uncomfortable sitting there with my back to the door and within minutes we were told that there was a breach of the capitol, which was just totally unbelievable. we've all seen the images of the rioters fighting with the police. we've seen the -- heard the words from the law and order president basically telling them to march down to the capitol and fight like hell and boy did they do that. but it was just unbelievable. we as members were told to get down, get down, to get on the floor and follow the lawful orders of the capitol police. but i can tell you it was an intense few

the house rules committee held a hearing on the relationship and the house and speaker gingrich and democraticleader testified over the course of a four-year period they talked about each other six times. that is the situation in the house, the pathway to dealmaking is not as readily available as it is in the senate and i think the filibuster plays an important role at the center of that. >> carlos do you have a response to this question? >> i do think you get moderation independent in the presence of the filibuster even under the same party with house democrats ideally want in their legislation will be fundamentally different than what the senate democrats proposed and this is due to the nature of the institution separate terms, separate constituencies, you do get compromise and i don't think compromise is inherently bipartisan i think compromise is between the differing institution and i think compromise can happen within a party where the voters have given the ability to have unified control i don't think if you get rid of the filibuster you will not have compromise i think of course you ha

in theory, the house could choose a member who is not even a member of the house of representatives to be speaker. greta: how is the winner determined? prof. green: the winner is determined by the clerk going back and calling other folks who did not answer when their names were called to see who had the majority of the votes. of all the votes that were cast for someone by name, and this is important, because, she was saying before, if you vote "present," or you abstain, it does not count toward either party's candidate. so that means that it is, in fact, possible to be ifcted speaker with 218, there are enough people who simply do not vote for anyone, abstain or present, you could be elected with fewer than 218. but the important thing is you are elected with an absolute majority of all the votes cast by name. once that happens, then the person who came in second go to the roster and gives a short speech, and then the person who is elected is sworn in by the dean of the house, who is the most senior, and then we have a new speaker. new speaker. greta: how does a look for today, for nan

it is the people's house, the white house, but we need to know about the people who built the house andthe people who impacted it beyond the president and the first families. he was very generous to introduce his historians at the national museum of african american history and culture to our historians. this began a three-year project delving into this topic. during that time, we had the privilege to host the cater house, a group called the presidential leadership scholars. this is a program that is a collaboration of the presidential libraries and foundations of president clinton, both bushes and president johnson. they bring together these young, dynamic early career leaders. they were at a program at decatur house across the park. they went to the historic slave quarters that night and i think they were intrigued, encouraged, maybe a little inspired, but they took us to task that we needed to do a better job of telling that story and interpreting that space. so we folded that story of decatur house and the last remaining example of slave quarters in the presidents neighborhood into

>>> the house is set to convene tomorrow, 9:00 a.m. eastern, to consider making donald trump the first president in history to be impeached twice. right frou now, we are expecting the impeachment vote to happen some time in the afternoon but things are very fluid. that could change. keep an eye out for whether there are negotiations between the house and the senate and even between democrats and republicans that are designed to get the articles of impeachment or article of impeachment to a place where republican senators may feel comfortable voting to convict. senator mitch mcconnell, the reporting about him tonight that that may be a live possibility i think means this is more fluid than ever. set your alarms. eat your breakfast. it's time for "the last word with lawrence o'donnell." good evening, lawrence. >> good evening, rachel. of course, the invasion of the capitol was also a superspreader event including, apparently, in the safe room where they were holding members of the house of representatives. we're going to be joined tonight

this is a special edition of the "situation room". house democrats just announced that they will call on mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment and pence -- they are giving them 24 hours to respond. president trump has ten days left in office. speaker pelosi spoke earlier tonight to cbs news about why impeachment is still so critical. >> what if he pardons himself? >> what if he pardons these people who are terrorists on the capitol. >> or pardons himself? >> he can only pardon himself from federal offenses, and not the state, and he's being investigated in the state of new york. >> there's a possibility that after all of this there's no punishment, no consequence and he could run again for president. >> and that's one of the motivations that people have for advocating for impeachment. >> won't that take more than the ten days? does it actually make sense? >> i want to point to the amendment because it gets rid of him and he's out of office. >> let's bring in our reporter on capitol hill, and jeremy diamond is joining us over at the white

>> i was on the house floor. was near the center aisle where the protesters were trying to break through. so i had a ring side seat. >> how long were you stuck in that position? >> well, we were in the house chamber until it became untenable. when they deployed teargas down the hall, they told us to get the gas masks under the seats and a lot of us were determined to stay in the chamber and not let the protesters, the rioters to take over the space. that became untenable and the capitol police officers and staff were remarkable. the staff, mostly piled up furniture by the doors giving us enough time to evacuate. they surrounded the chamber on three sides. those images you're showing are the speaker's lobby. that is the furniture piled up that you are seeing on the other side of the glass. that is what kept them out. was the staff acting quickly. those people are not paid to do that and they were acting heroically. their actions allowed 80 members of congress and the staff to be evacuated out of the only exit that

democrats have advantage in the house. but with this very strong republican opposition that includes this wild edge, this wild and dangerous edge of the republican party that is present both in the house and the senate. when you're at that white house podium and you're trying to get the kind of attention that she's trying to get on the biden agenda, how do you do that when you know what is happening right outside -- basically outside of that room and capitol hill and the way it's being received up there? >> so, i think they've done a great job. it's only been a week and i'm sure they have a lot of tough days ahead of them. but you can tell jennifer psaki works -- this is her second white house. people like ron klain, it's their third white house. people like ryan deese, national economic adviser, it's his third white house. joe biden has decades and decades of experience. these are people who know what they're doing. they know that jen has had a remarkable first week at the podium. but you also know they're not going to be

what are you hearing from the white house? >> reporter: not as a viable option for being invoked for the same reason that phil mattingly said, that only a tiny number of house republicans are willing to support impeachment. the same applies to the president trump's cabinet declaring him unable to perform his duties. all the more so because two cabinet members who were disturbed by the president's conduct have already announced their resignations. i think what this represents and mike pence's strategic silence represents an attempt to keep pressure on president trump to deter future bad acts in the last week and a half of his presidency. he took actions that endangered the united states last week. endangered mike pence specifically, his vice president and mike pence is lending through as i said through strategic silence the effort to keep the pressure on the president not to do anything approaching that again. >> and john, we talked about this this weekend, it is stunning, let' check if we have any conversation today. the fact t
