I answered the first question. Which was a point of order made by Paul Gosar regrading the stacked votes. Don't quote me on this. Going by memory.
He asked how can we have a vote with only 11 members on the floor?

Pence answered, "Debate is not allowed."
Paul Gosar responded, "that wasn't my question."
My question is regarding the 11 members only allowed on the floor.
Pence response was "Debate isn't allowed." then Shut Gosar off as those he answered his question and was interrupting.

Which that exchange proved to me Pence is in on the stacked voting of the objection or he is a moron.

I can’t post an active link here, but I would ask you to please review these votes on January 6-7 and tell me what I am missing.

There were only TWO states where the GOP was able to muster the minimum threshold to actually vote on an objection (Arizona and Pennsylvania). And both of those objections failed miserably. And they had far more than 11 votes in both chambers.

I had to look up the exchange between Pence and whom I thought was Gosar when it was actually Griffith of Virginia.

Mr. GRIFFITH. Mr. Vice President, in order to follow the Speaker's instructions that only a limited number of people be on the floor, may I ask how one would make an objection or make a parliamentary inquiry in the future if you are not on the floor but in the gallery.
The VICE PRESIDENT. Under section 18 of title 3, United States Code, debate is not permitted in the joint session. ...
Mr. Vice President, I am not attempting to debate. I am trying to find out how a parliamentary inquiry or a parliamentary point of order would be made in following with the Speaker's request that most of us not be on the floor. How do you make one of those points of order when you don't know what is going to happen later?
The VICE PRESIDENT. Respectfully, the gentleman's parliamentary inquiry constitutes debate, which is not permitted in the joint session
