EXCLUSIVE: White House Memo Details How ‘Pence Card’ Can Save Trump’s Presidency On Dec 23
National File ^ | December 22, 2020 | TOM PAPPERT

Posted on 12/22/2020 7:02:25 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Sources in the Trump administration confirmed to National File that President Donald Trump’s most vocal advocates within the White House have determined that both U.S. Code and the Constitution contain language that requires Vice President Mike Pence to reject unlawful Electoral College certificates, but Pence must act by no later than Wednesday, December 23. The drafters of this White House memo believe that the federal check to the states’ elections resides with Vice President Mike Pence in his role as President of the Senate. Additionally, Pence has the sole power determine whether to reject impermissible states of electors. However, Pence is legally required to do this on the fourth Wednesday in December, which this year falls on December 23.

National File’s sources in the White House indicated that the memo was requested by those in the President’s circle who are most keen to see the 2020 election, and the ensuing fallout, administered in as transparent of a manner as possible. They also indicate that the push to find a path to verify the 2020 election’s integrity is not coming solely from the White House, but also comes from across numerous agencies in the administration.

The emergence of the memo could mark a decided shift in roles for Pence, our sources explain. Since the days immediately following the election, Pence has remained relatively silent compared to President Trump and his legal team.

The revelation that Pence alone can reject allegedly fraudulent Electoral College certificates shifts the spotlight from President Trump and Congressional leaders significantly by putting President Trump’s electoral destiny squarely on Pence’s shoulders.

This memo will likely interfere with Pence’s travel plans, as the vice president recently announced his intention to travel to Israel for two weeks after January 6, when he will preside over a joint session of Congress,...

I’m going to predict that this will not happen.

It's always inspiring to hear from limp noodles who would rather quit than risk fighting and losing.

I will give up when President Trump gives up, and not a millisecond before.

pence is perhaps the last great hope for avoiding some kind of violence.

however, the stakes are very high, and everyone knows that pence could screw up years of planning and execution by the democrats.

i cannot easily imagine pence resisting an opportunity to bloviate like he does in nearly every speech he has given as VP so far.

i imagine it would be very easy for mcconnell and pelosi to arrange to turn off his mic if he hints at declaring any part of the election fraudulent.

so, imho pence could just prepare a single sentence delivering the result first. any explanation would be subject to lawsuit so cut all of that out of any speech.
if they cut the PA in mid sentence, pence needs to prepare a single slide showing the election votes are disputed and so no count can be given. he also should have a deadman switch statement ready to release to congress and the press by his aides if he is dragged off the podium or some violence occurs.

i cannot imagine pence not stopping for something such as a prayer or a reminisce of some sunday school lesson he learned while growing up on a corn farm somewhere. pence for once should just say what he needs to say and then shut up.

Shocking people believe this. I guess Kamala Harris can reject Texas electors in 2024 because of historical racism.

False, fake, no going to happen

It is time to realize in order for Trump to remain President...we will need to hear that sucking sound and gurgling as it swirls down the drain.

If that isn’t happening....and it won’t....we are done.

“Not betting on Pence.”

I’ve always been on the fence regarding Pence — on the “Pence Fence”, I guess.

I’m leaning toward him helping us when/if he’s able to because I believe he’s an actual Christian, as opposed to a “small-C” christian, who cares about ethics, morals, murdering babies, etc. He knows Trump is more likely to uphold those values than Biden is. If he can, and does, make a decision it will be for Trump; it will have to be. Pence could very well be the understated hero in this whole situation. We shall see ...

Just because you cant successfully navigate twitter to find it doesnt mean i am lying

If this assertion is, in fact true, we shall see if the mild-mannered Mike Pence has the balls to assert himself in such a manner.

A big 'if'. What happens on December 23rd is a check to make sure all the states have submitted their certificates and results. If any state is missing then they contact the Office of Official Registrar at the National Archives to get a replacement copy - states submit a minimum of seven copies and a maximum of nine to both Congress and the Archives. All they are doing is making sure the results are in. Neither Pence or anyone else is approving the submissions.
