Lots of truth in that post

But in actuality what happened is good in the long run

It showed us who he really is

At least he never got back in only to screw us over and disappoint everyone because he didn’t show his true colors then

[Third Person]

Go GWB!

Go little John boy McCain!

Go Mitt Romney!

Yeah Yeah Yeah!!!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Maybe.

But considering his history of buckling under pressure it was almost inevitable that he would fold like a cheap lawn chair when sat in by a body positivity activist.

Zactly

Constitution says VP counts the EVs. Doesn’t empower VP to determine or opine on the legitimacy of them or to reject them.

The clerk at motor vehicles just issues the drivers' licenses but can't reject a fraudulent application? The VP was empowered to reject fraudulent electoral votes constitutionally, so the Congress amended the law:
Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022
Pence is a coward, and history will judge him as such.

[Macho MAGA Man]

That’s exactly what happened!

[Third Person]

your is not you’re

or maybe try “ur”

probably will work either way for the regular folk

easy!

Fools.....the SC would have shot this down in a heartbeat and Trump knew it.....

Hey there, genius: that law was modified in 2022. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Count_Reform_and_Presidential_Transition_Improvement_Act_of_2022

Note that this was AFTER the 2020 “election” fiasco. It was pushed through by members of both parties who hated and/or feared Donald Trump, and who never wanted another “election” challenged. You cannot quote the subsequently-modified law as if it was in effect at the time of the “election “ in question, or on 1/6/21.

You can like or dislike Trump or Pence, as you see fit - those are your opinions. But you are not entitled to your own facts.

[Dr. Franklin]

Pence is a dick but your either for the Constitution and the laws or your not.

The issue is this: Is the 2022 law you cite constitutional? Can the Congress tie the VP's hands to reject obviously fraudulent election returns, i.e., electors awarded in an election where more ballots were tallied than voters who voted, (as happened with Pennsylvania's 2020 election) or where the election laws were clearly violated, (as subsequently adjudged by the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the 2020 Election)? Since the VP's powers are outlined in the Constitution, how can a statute limit those powers?

Pence had more sense than Trump, a lot smarter also look who is about to go to jail and it is not Pence

[RitaOK]

Wrong.

I.

The Ammendment you cite was was not in effect on the J6 behavior that Pious Pense exhibited in denying the several states who were objecting on behalf of the people’s sure evidence of fraudulent ballots and counting and procedures in their state.

II.

IF PENCE HAD NO POWER TO GRANT A TEN DAY DELAY for investigation of FRAUD to those states, WHY WOULD THIS AMMENDMENT BE CREATED?

It was because Pence as presider had the DUTY to respect state’s right to OBJECT AND reasonable time to PROVE A FRAUDULENT ELECTION HAD IN DEED OCCURRED, in the respective states, prior to 20 January.

III.

PENCE LIED when repetitively saying PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTED PENCE TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION.

President Trump always asked for an investigation, not an overthrow.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

DC_Draino is a friend of Trump. He’s usually invited to Mar-a-lago to dine with him or attend special occasions.

I've watched Trump long enough to know that he doesn't have any friends.

[Dr. Franklin]

Fools.....the SC would have shot this down in a heartbeat and Trump knew it.....

If it were to rule consistently about the 2020 Election, SCOTUS would have avoided the issue as a political question. Because Pence was coward, the issue was never decided, and as VP who needed accept or reject electoral votes, he clearly had the "elusive" standing to bring the case if SCOTUS were to have addressed the issue of massive cheating in 2020 Big Steal.

[Jim Noble]

No legislature certified that that happened

And none objected.

Are you claiming that the President of the Senate can order State Legislatures into session, and can command their agendas?

[Macho MAGA Man]

That’s just a photo op.

[Macho MAGA Man]

What makes you think Trump is going to jail?

[Macho MAGA Man]

You’re spot on. That’s exactly what happened and the truth.

[freeandfreezing]

You are citing the law as it was amended subsequent to the 2020 election.

Historically the Senate and the House have debated and either accepted or rejected electors designated by states.

For example see the presidential election of 1876.
