Animated Senate debate on Electoral Count Bill stalls
SPECIAL TO THE POST reports an executive session in Washington on February 1 that yielded little progress. Senator Edmunds heatedly argued about President Senate relations, urging the committee to report in open session. Democratic objections blocked the move, with expectations that the resolution will pass to let Republicans air views. Other topics included Treasury papers and nominations of suspended officers, likely to be confirmed. The piece notes growing Republican support for broad presidential prerogative, notably from newer, rapidly growing states.
