Why is Kamala being called Madam President during the certification of election results?
She is President of the Senate and of this special session of Congress.
The Twelfth Amendment since 1804 has provided that the vice president, as President of the Senate, receives the Electoral College votes, and then, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, opens the sealed votes. The Electoral Count Act of 1887 requires the votes to be counted during a joint session on January 6 following the meetings of the presidential electors.[1] The act also specifies that the president of the Senate presides over the session.[2]

Got it. Thank you. I didn't go to school in the US and this was my first time watching it live.
