FAHRENHEIT 9/11 -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY

Congressman Alcee L. Hastings

If any congressman wanted to raise an objection, the rules insisted ...

that he or she had to have the signed support of just one senator.

Congressman Alcee L. Hastings:  Mr. President -- and I take great pride in calling you that -- I must object because
of the overwhelming evidence of misconduct, deliberate fraud and an attempt to suppress voter...

Al Gore, The Traitor:  The chair must remind members that under Section 18 of Title 3, United States Code, no debate
is allowed in the joint session.

Congressman Alcee L. Hastings:  Thank you, Mr. President.  To answer your question, Mr. President, the objection is in writing, signed
by a number of members of the House of Representatives, but not by a member of the Senate.

Congresswoman Corinne Brown: Mr. President, it is in writing and signed by several House colleagues on behalf, and myself, of the 27,000 voters of Duval County in which 16,000 of them are African-Americans that was disenfranchised in this last election.

Al Gore, The Traitor: Is the objection signed by a member of the Senate?

Congresswoman Corinne Brown: Not signed by a member of the Senate.  The Senate is missing.

Congresswoman Barbara Lee:  Mr. President, It is in writing and signed by myself on behalf of many of the diverse constituents in our country, especially those in the 9th Congressional District, and all American voters who recognize that the Supreme Court, not the people of the United States, decided this election.

Al Gore, The Traitor:  Is the objection signed by a senator?

Congresswoman Barbara Lee:  Unfortunately, Mr. President, it is not signed by one single senator.

Congresswoman:  Unfortunately, I have no authority over the United States Senate, and no senator has signed.
