Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to temporarily fill vacancies in the House of Representatives to further the continuity of Congress.

This joint resolution proposes a Constitutional amendment aimed at ensuring the continuity of Congress by establishing a mechanism to temporarily fill vacancies in the House of Representatives. Upon taking the oath of office, each Representative would be required to provide the House with a list of at least five qualified designees who could serve in their place if they die before their term expires. Should a Representative die, the chief executive of their State would select an individual from this pre-submitted list within 10 days, and the Speaker of the House would immediately fill the vacancy. This designated individual would serve as a Representative until a new Member is elected through a special election, and during their service, they would be treated as a full Representative for all legal and regulatory purposes. The amendment also includes provisions for handling the death of a temporarily designated individual, requiring the state's chief executive to select another replacement from the deceased designee's own pre-submitted list to maintain continuous representation.
