So the Veep’s responsibility is ceremonial?
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.
