NEW: Iowa Sen. Charles E. Grassley, the Senate president pro tempore, says he and not Vice President Mike Pence will preside over the certification of Electoral College votes, since "we don't expect him to be there."
Grassley said he will listen to debate and that "it would be really wrong for me to say I have my mind made up."
Grassley's office clarifies that he was meaning to explain what would happen if Pence had to step away during Wednesday's proceedings to count Electoral College votes. "Every indication we have is that the vice president will be there," Grassley's office said.

OK you wanted outside the box:
1. Pence would prefer not to subvert the Constitution on Jan. 6.
2. But Pence feels a strong sense of loyalty to Trump.
3. And Pence wants to avoid a demand that he pardon Trump upon a Trump resignation Jan. 19.
So: Pence resigns as VP tomorrow.

Lin Wood warned about Pence. Need to watch him closely.
The Dems are all either young communists or doddering old corrupt-acrats. As they fall into dementia, as we saw with Biden, they occasionally slip and speak the truth about their intent. “From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh”

Pence was supposed to be traveling tomorrow. It’s been known for weeks that Grassley was supposed to be the hit man for tomorrow. Funny that Pence canceled his travels at the last minute.
Tellers open, present, and record the votes of the States in alphabetical
order. The President of the Senate announces the results of the State
vote and then calls for any objections. To be recognized, an objection
must be submitted in writing and be signed by at least one member of
the House and one Senator.
He's the President pro Tempore of the Senate and the presiding officer in the absence of the vice-president.

With everything that’s happened, I wouldn’t be surprised about anything anymore!
In fact, I think Al Haig is in charge there.
Take it easy Francis
Getting Cra Cra.
Yeah, ok. Freudian slip?
> What excuse would there be for Pence being a “no show” <
I think it depends on whether or not Grassley takes the election fraud seriously.
Let’s say Grassley does take the fraud seriously. Then maybe Pence wants Grassley to do all the heavy lifting to help stop the fraud.
Now let’s say Grassley doesn’t take the fraud seriously. Then maybe Pence wants Grassley to take the hit for not stopping the fraud.
In either scenario Pence doesn’t look good.

Grassley was McConnell and Cornyn and Schumer’s hit man for tomorrow.
He probably still is.
The CIA and FBI seem to have only one clear mission: to compromise and blackmail politicians, particularly Republicans, on behalf of the Chicoms/Democrats.

I understand the Senate rule says that “if the VP 🕷 bugs out, his place will be taken by the oldest member.”
