"Does that amendment legally supersede Article II, Section I, paragraph 3?"

You tell me. With this Bill signed into law by Biden, they've declared that the V.P.'s part in certifying Presidential electors is basically ceremonial, with no power to "determine, accept, reject, or otherwise adjudicate or resolve disputes over the proper list of electors, the validity of electors, or the votes of electors."

I’ll say it’s unconstitutional. Wouldn’t be the first time Congress ever passed unconstitutional law.

I haven't yet heard that anyone is challenging this law in Federal Court. Forget about Republicans doing anything about it. Too many traitors in the Senate who voted for it.

“Former Vice President Mike Pence cast the 2024 election as a fight for the future of conservatism and his party...”

I don’t give a damn about the future of conservatism and certainly not about the Republican party.

The nation is being destroyed and a disembodied political ideology is not going to save us. It was not political ideology that saved us in World War II.

And Pence is certainly NOT the leader who will save us. A POS leader has never been known to save anyone.

The deep state knows who it is that can defeat them. And it ain’t Mike Pence, for crying out loud.

“Should the new populism of the right seize and guide our party, the Republican Party we’ve long known will cease to exist"

Your proposal is acceptable.

Do you mean the populists who finance and send our children to fight your endless wars to protect raw materials and markets of multi-national elites? But Trump isn’t a populist. His economic policies utilize American economic power over military force while maintaining a strong American military and was judicious in it’s use. His policies were nationalist as the Constitution intended.

I don't know for sure but I believe the Constitutional requirements for amending the Constitution according to Article V were not met in any way.

Article V

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

Red herring. Too many challenges to unconstitutional law are thrown out of federal courts on the equally-unconstitutional notion of the plaintiffs not having “standing”.

“Pence rails against Trump’s ‘siren song of populism’”

AGAIN???

populism is nothing more and nothing less than power to the people, AND it’s the opposite of, and the anathema of, the fascist deep state uniparty ...

anyone who “rails” against populism is signaling to the world that they’re a dyed in the wool uniparty fascist deep stater ...

[BTW, i don’t think Pence would come up on his own with the idea of railing against populism: this is something is handlers have ordered him to do ... somehow or other, his handlers think that trying to label Trump a populist would hurt Trump ... whereas, anyone paying attention already KNOWS Trump is a populist and LOVES it!]

‘Populism’ is one of those terms people use like ‘Fascism’. Generally it means “anything I don’t agree with.”

"Red herring. Too many challenges to unconstitutional law are thrown out of federal courts on the equally-unconstitutional notion of the plaintiffs not having “standing”."

It's no longer a government "of the people, by the people, for the people, for the people." That government, and the people's "standing," has perished.
