25. Article 1, Section 5
If the Busby/Bilbray ruling is correct then this article and section seems to me to be to be an especially dangerous loophole. It seems as if the majority could, after an election, seat all candidates of their party regardless of the actual results. The candidates could simply all cry foul, launch legal proceedings, and the House majority could agree with them and seat them. Surely this is not what was intended by the founding fathers. This seems like something that is badly in need of an amendment.
