ITGHO, Jan 6 Constitutional Certification by VPOTUS, a political act (not necessarily purely clerical or administrative as some argue), sanates even blatant illegitimacy.
It’s not a “quitter’s attitude” to recognize Biden as prexy #46 if you’re inclined eventually to relent. Pence was empowered to certify, and he did certify.. He did so, and irreversibly, despite the fact that many, including This Guy, will always despise him for being so greasily amenable to overlooking obvious state-level ballot fraud in favor of Biden.
