Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
02/01/22
So pathetic to watch the Unselect Committee of political hacks, liars, and traitors work so feverishly to alter the Electoral College Act so that a Vice President cannot ensure the honest results of the election, when just one year ago they said that “the Vice President has absolutely no right to ensure the true outcome or results of an election.”
In other words, they lied, and the Vice President did have this right or, more pointedly, could have sent the votes back to various legislators for reassessment after so much fraud and irregularities were found.
If it were sent back to the legislators, or if Nancy Pelosi, who is in charge of Capitol security, had taken my recommendation and substantially increased security, there would have been no “January 6” as we know it!
Therefore, the Unselect Committee should be investigating why Nancy Pelosi did such a poor job of overseeing security and why Mike Pence did not send back the votes for recertification or approval, in that it has now been shown that he clearly had the right to do so!

I'm trying to remember when Congress was certifying the vote in 2009, for the Constitutionally-ineligible BO, and there was discussion here about whether and how VP Cheney could raise objections and halt the certification. I think he called for any (written) objections, and none were offered, and he went ahead and declared the vote count certified and valid, and the rest is history.
Another just “move on” to banana republic status moron speaks up.
His lawyers? I am no constitutional expert. Perhaps they know something.
The election was fraudulent how in the hell can you sit there and accept this happening in this country!! If we don’t bring the fraud to the forefront and just move on they will CONTINUE to do this, ANYONE that believes this election was NOT STOLEN is a fool!!
The states that went about it did it in the wrong way.
The state legislatures had the prior power to question ballots going back to 3 U.S. Code § 2 - Failure to make choice on prescribed day and 3 U.S. Code § 5 - Determination of controversy as to appointment of electors weeks before the ballots made it to Congress.
In fact, 3 U.S. Code § 2 - Failure to make choice on prescribed day may make delayed acceptance of mail-in ballots unconstitutional.
Whenever any State has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct.Since Election Day is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, if a state has not selected its Electors on THAT day, this section of the US CODE says that the legislature may choose the electors after that, and not wait for a week for more ballots to arrive and be counted based on election official changes of election law by edict.
This section of US Code could have also been used to invalidate the 2:00am ballot dumps that put Biden over the top because those ballots arrived on the next day AFTER the day prescribed by law. The legislature could have cited US Code Title 3 § 2 to discard those ballots and call the election at that point. Of course, that action would have been immediately appealed to a friendly judge, who would then have to rule on the interpretation of the US Code, which would then get appealed all the way to SCOTUS.
Some legislatures did try to act, but they weakly went to the courts who refused to hear the cases. In my opinion, the state legislatures should have just cited US Law and unilaterally acted, making the Democrats have to go to court and object. Republicans didn't do that; they went to court first and objected after (mostly) Democrats unilaterally acted to change the election laws via executive fiat.
The lesson for 2024 is clear: don't rely on the courts. Republican legislatures should interpret their powers directly and unilaterally act. Don't ask Congress for anything; they have no role to play until 3 U.S. Code § 15 - Counting electoral votes in Congress. All sections prior to § 15 are about what the states are to do.
If Democrats don't like it, they can go to the courts and fight to interpret the US Code, making the debate public and national.
When Republicans go to the court first to block Democrats, the courts reject the cases and the media covers up the issues. When Democrats go to court, the courts hear their cases and act swiftly. Republicans need to unilaterally act wherever they have plenary power and then put the Democrats on the defensive when they run to the courts to block.

I am only able to do one thing.
I will not be casting a vote to reelect Senator John Thune. I suggest all other registered voters of any party in the State of South Dakota, do the same and remove one impediment to future fair elections.
They've been my words all along, and also those who understand the Constitution. Flattering as it might be to think that Trump monitors my posts and quotes them, I'm sure he came up with it all on his own.
THAT is proof that Benedict Pence DID have the power. He knew it; they know it. They want to rescind that power.
Do any of the proposed changes have anything to do with what the Vice-President does?
States did not. Or, more properly, state legislatures did not. Not a single legislature sent a competing slate of electors. Not a single legislature requested a delay. Any requests like that came from a small minority of members who did not have the authority to speak for the legislature as a whole.
Pence/the VP does have the authority to do this.
No he doesn't. Had a state formally asked him to delay then it might have given them pause, but in the end even that may not have been enough for Pence to do anything.
no ahole...I don’t think it was legitimate....but that doesn’t change that fact that him whining about it endlessly will change anything. he’s making a fool of himself. if he intends to run again he should be working behind the scenes to prevent it from happening again. if he does run, and he obsesses on the last election instead of the criminal train-wreck that is the biden regime, he will lose.
He is working behind the scenes as are many others in his camp. Why would you think he wasnt?
It’s hold be mentioned but the ain’t focus should be on 22 and 24. Trump should have been prepared for the fraud. I’m VS, they were prepared.
And better Lawyers.
VA.
“They sent letters requesting time to review.”
Individual legislators sent letters.
No legislature did.
“Isn’t that why Cruz and Hawley wanted to allow the 10 days to review the legislators concerns? But, Pence torpedoed it.”
Cruz and Hawley were two individual senators voicing individual opinions.
The US Senate voted to accept all electors sent by the states.
Pence torpedoed nothing. He did not have ANY power to do anything except accede to the will of the joint session as expressed by the majority vote.
“Another just “move on” to banana republic status moron speaks up.”
To whom are you referring?
The morons who believe the VP could reject electors sent by the states AND accepted by a joint session of congress?
Because that’s a whole ‘nuther level of Qtardedness.
