Four bipartisan Congress members are seeking a constitutional amendment which would allow for circumventing the traditional electoral process and quickly replace members following a mass casualty event.
Representatives Derek Kilmer (D-WA), Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), William Timmons (R-SC) and Emanuel Cleaver II (D-MO) have brought forward the proposal, citing the attempted assassination at the congressional baseball team practice in 2017, the January 6 event at the U.S. Capitol and the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump.
While the amendment doesn’t specifically use the term ‘mass casualty’ it does however discuss the death of a representative on page 2.
Continuity of Government (CoG) plans have been in place since the Eisenhower Administration began planning for the aftermath of nuclear war. The plans seek to keep the U.S. government (and tax collection agencies like the IRS) functional after a mass casualty event, such as nuclear war.
Some have brought up that a mass casualty event may stem from rocket propelled grenades (RPG’s) and improvised explosive devices (IED’s) which have been brought up through the wide open southern border.

Others have brought up the trainload of ammonium nitrate that went missing.

“The continuity amendment would also deny a would-be assassin the power to flip control of the House from one party to another, Kilmer said. The interim appointee would serve only until a special election could take place,” The Washington Post said on Thursday. “The Constitution requires all House vacancies to be filled by election rather than with an interim appointment. It does not impose the same standard on the Senate, where states may choose to fill vacancies with a temporary appointment until a special election can take place.”
The reason that states can fill vacancies in the Senate likely stems from the fact that until 1913 with the passage of the 17th Amendment, senators were elected by state legislatures.
During a subcommittee hearing on Wednesday titled ‘Preparing for the Future by Learning From the Past,’ lawmakers gathered to discuss the amendment.
“Many Republican voters are understandably on edge as we approach the upcoming election as the fears of disenfranchisement that marked the last election continue to grow. Unlike last time, voters are now more aware of potential fraud as they prepare to scrutinize the electoral process closely. The moment voters get a whiff of suspected fraud, there will likely be an immediate uproar,” Miriam Judith said in The Gateway Pundit on Tuesday. “This begs the question of if this recent legislative maneuvering is a desperate attempt by the regime to shield itself from the inevitable backlash of a population that feels betrayed yet again. Are they gearing up for not just for an electoral contest, but a full-scale confrontation from the people whose votes they continue to undermine?”
