Vice President Mike Pence reportedly told President Trump Tuesday that he does not possess the power to block the certification of the election — a remark that followed Trump asserting the vice president, who is presiding over Wednesday’s joint session of Congress, has the “power to reject fraudulently chosen electors.”
According to a report from the New York Times, Pence reportedly told Trump “he did not believe he had the power to block congressional certification of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s victory in the presidential election despite Mr. Trump’s baseless insistence that he did, people briefed on the conversation said.”
The report follows an earlier tweet from the president, who said that the vice president “has the power to reject fraudulently chosen electors”:
Donald J. Trump - "The Vice President has the power to reject fraudulently chosen electors."
Congress will formally count the Electoral College votes on Wednesday. Objections from at least one lawmaker in both the House and Senate would trigger debates in both chambers — a phenomenon that is expected to happen, with over 100 GOP members of the House and over a dozen GOP senators signaling their intention to object to electors in disputed states.

“According to a report from the New York Times”
Translation: this is fake news until proven otherwise.
Why is Breitbart reporting a NY Times story?
Why post an article about an article by a leftist rag based on heresay? I mean the only purpose is to manipulate.
It’s news.
Why would someone post an article about an article by a leftist rag based on heresay? I mean the only purpose is to manipulate.
As I said in another thread Pence has no stomach for a fight. He caved in Indiana the moment to left went ballistic. It has been reported that he plans to retire from the political scene as soon as this administration ends. It was been reported last week he will retire completely from the political scene.
“Slink off with his tail between his legs into the sunset. This last sentence is my words.” Pence has no fight in him. Typical “Republican”.
No it’s not. It’s unprovable her say that has been posted here twice already.
No. There’s just 500 writers writing the same article over and over and over, making it SEEM like things are going back and forth constantly.
Pence & the Pres. are on the same page. See link:

Don’t read it. I will continue to post news.
Don’t read it. I will continue to post news.
I’ve asked the same question.
Don’t read it. I will continue to post news.
You will continue to post the same article about an article whose source is here say? Ok. I will continue to point out that you are continuously posting the same article about an article by a leftist rag based on heresay.
LOL!
Now Not so Brightbart is quoting NYT?
For anonymous sources. Oh good lord...
How retarded huH??
Trump debunked this tonight. https://twitter.com/teamtrump/status/1346657355002503174?s=21
That’s what most of them are going to do. They’ll be allowed to finish out their terms and then be gone.
But............. This is only happening because we’re letting it happen.
Reportedly-— by WHOM? oh-— “sources”... meaning 3 creative writing class reporters working for the propaganda editor.
They have NO way of knowing... anything. Sealed up tight. Pence likely knows the opposite, and they want this to go to SCOTUS if he ignores Electoral Act, and kicks out several state’s from the totals and drives the election to the House, where Amendment 12 takes over. “So sue us!” SCOTUS will not reverse Amendent 12 1 vote per state decision.
