Trump had constitutional scholars advising him on this point, and it is clear that the position of President of the Senate is absolutely discretionary or they would not have specified it.

Trump had a legal team that was being paid to advise him, or they were political partisans who wanted him to win the election. There was nothing objective about what they were saying. If they were Biden advisors or they were partisan Democrats they would have been saying the exact opposite. That's what partisans and paid flacks do.

Those same constitutional scholars would have laughed you out of the room if you had suggested that Vice President Joe Biden had the absolute authority to stop the certification of Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton in January 2017.

Or in an even more ridiculous scenario ... imagine if we were talking about Vice President Al Gore presiding over the joint session of Congress in January 2001, and he took it upon himself to stop the certification process for the election he had just lost to George W. Bush.

Please stop posting this nonsense. It falls apart on its face when you present the obvious problems with this silly idea that the VP has the full discretion to act on his own as the sole arbiter of a presidential election.

He could have tried, but in the end it would have been forced upon him anyways. You see, there was no obvious evidence of widespread fraud getting Trump elected. What fraud there was appeared on the Hitlery side.

Pence didn't even object to the clear coup that occurred. He didn't even squeak like a mouse.

Please stop posting this nonsense.

Your position is nonsense, but yet you keep insisting on posting it. Why don't you apply your own advice to you?

Anyone who thinks the nation should roll over for fraud should not be heeded.
