”On August 2, 2005, H.R. 2985, the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act,
2006, which includes a measure (Title III) providing for expedited special House
elections in extraordinary circumstances, was signed into law (P.L. 109-55). As
adopted by both houses in late July 2005, the conference report to H.R. 2985
(H.Rept. 109-189) included the “continuity in representation” provision. On June 30,
2005, the Senate passed H.R. 2985, with amendments, by unanimous consent, and
asked for a conference with the House. During a markup held June 23 by the
Subcommittee on Legislative Branch of the Senate Committee on Appropriations,
the subcommittee, by a voice vote, recommended that the Senate strike Title III of
the measure, providing for expedited special elections to replace members of the
House of Representatives when 100 or more of the seats in the House are vacant due
to “extraordinary circumstances.” (?!?!?!?)
