"We understand what the law is and the preeminence of the role of Congress and specifically the House of Representatives when it comes to counting the votes," Pelosi told NPR's Ari Shapiro in an interview Monday. "But let's not worry about that right now. We're ready. We're prepared. We've been ready for a while because we see this irresponsibility of the president, his disrespect for the Constitution, for our democracy, and for the integrity of our elections. So we're ready for him."

You may be wondering how the House could determine the President. Well, it's actually part of the process. If neither candidate has 270 electoral votes, then the incoming House of Representatives members get to choose the next President. This has only happened twice in our nation's history, way back in 1801 and 1825, and the House has no obligation to pay attention to the votes of the people. For example, in the 1824 election, Andrew Jackson won the popular vote AND had the most votes in the electoral college. However, he didn't have a majority of the electoral votes and the House chose John Quincy Adams instead.
