Should The Vice President Certify The Election?

Should The Vice President Certify The Election?


  • Total voters
    21
  • Poll closed .
The Constitution directs the president of the Senate to open the certificates of the election results from the states in the presence of the Senate and House and instructs that the votes “shall then be counted,” said Garrett Epps, a professor of constitutional law at the University of Oregon. He noted that the vice president is not explicitly referenced. However, the vice president serves as president of the Senate; if absent, the senior most senator from the majority party serves in that role.
That language indicates Congress — not just the president of the Senate — is to count the votes, Epps said, and doesn’t afford the vice president any special power to overturn them.

Vice president doesn’t have power to ‘change the outcome’ of elections​


It wasnt about him changing anything. It was about some delegates not certifying and Pence sending it back to the state electors. New electors had been arranged (the false elector scheme) that would change their votes.
 
Interestingly, if the MAGA-mites say she can't or say she shouldn't be allowed to....will have undermined Trump's previous attempt to get Pence to do the dirty did...showing them to be hypocrites.
 
On January 6, Kamala Harris will preside over Congress to count and certify the electoral results. Given how she and the American left have continually pummeled Trump as literally Hitler, should she? If I truly believed he is what they say he is, I wouldn't. Certify a dyed in the wool totalitarian/dictator/nazi/despot? Doesn't she have a moral imperative to do everything in her power to stand in the way, to protect the republic?
Unlike Trump in 2020 who cried, howled, and threw his toys out of the playpen, the VP will handle the certification with dignity.

Take a note MAGAS, no riot, no assaulting Capital Police. The VP will handle the certification as prescribed by the US Constitution.

History will remember Jan 6 for what it' is, a shit stain on MAGA undies no washing will remove.

Accept it
 
Contrary to the expressed and acted on wishes of Trump in 2021, Kamala Harris will be true to her Oath of Office, and perform her elected duty.
Yup

Take a note MAGAS

It's called doing your duty, and accepting the results.
 
Protecting the republic by undermining it is quite the creative concept.
One MAGAS attempted in 2020 in a fit of election loss butt hurt.
