Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004): Objections

The clip objections from Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

On the day the joint session of both the House of Representatives...
...and the Senate was to certify the election results...
...AI Gore, in his dual role as outgoing vice president...
...and president of the Senate...
...presided over the event that would officially anoint...
...George W. Bush as the new president.
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.
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...
The chair must remind members that under Section 18 of Title 3...
...United States Code, no debate is allowed in the joint session.
Thank you, Mr. President. To answer your question...
...the objection is in writing, signed by a number of members...
...of the House of Representatives, but not by a member of the Senate.
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.
Is the objection signed by a member of the Senate?
Not signed by a member of the Senate.
The Senate is missing.
It is in writing and signed by myself...
...on behalf of many of the diverse constituents...
...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.
Is the objection signed by a senator?
Unfortunately, Mr. President, it is not signed by one single senator.
I have no authority over the United States Senate...
...and no senator has signed.
Mr. President, it is in writing and signed by myself and several...
...of my constituents from Florida. A senator is needed, but missing.
