That is a separate issue.
Pence could have rounded up his buddies, robbed all the local liquor stores, then proceeded to firebomb the White House with Molotov cocktails.
Sure this act may hurt his employment chances going forward, but it would not alter the fact that a VP is restricted to just opening envelopes and tabulating the contents. All rejections of electors had to come from some where else.
Nope. Not a separate at all. Politics is a daily grind. The GOP response to the steal was designed to fail because they want Trump gone. It’s not possible to parachute in after two months the election and win.
Immediately after election day Pence needed to be on the horn with the GOP Senate and RNC insisting that they light fires under state GOP. Instead state and national GOP played hot potato and ran out the clock. Pence didn’t want to support POTUS. It’s that simple.
So your saying that a VP has a greater role than just opening envelopes and tabulating the contents? The constitution disagrees with you, not me.
