Looking for the word 'ceremonial' in my copy of the Constitution. Not finding it. Little help, please?

House Republican lawmakers applauded former Vice President Mike Pence for his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, giving him a warm reception as he spoke to members of the conservative Republican Study Committee on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) thanked Pence for showing courage that day, sources in the room said.
“He was congratulated for showing the courage that he did on January 6, and frankly, everyone in the room clapped, myself included,” said Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa.). “It was, of course, what he should have done. I mean, it was the constitutional thing to do.”
Pence’s ceremonial role presiding over the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6 to certify the Electoral College count from the 2020 election cemented President Biden’s win.
Then-President Trump had pressured Pence to unilaterally reject Electoral College votes from certain states that Biden won so that Trump would be found the winner. Trump had falsely claimed there was mass fraud in several states that led to his legitimate loss.
On Jan. 6, 147 lawmakers voted to object to the electoral results, including many members of the Republican Study Committee and its chair, Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.). At the time, Roy argued against objecting to the votes.
The topic of the 2024 presidential election came up in the meeting, Meuser said, but added that Pence’s focus was on the 2022 elections.

Well there you go.
Is Mike Pence held in high regard among many Republicans? I know we hate Mike Pence here on free Republic, but not sure how populsr he is out in the rest of the world. He’s being talked up as a 2024 presidential contender in the media.
Please clap for Mike Pence Vice President of the Cut and Run Club 🤪
Let’s see how that translates into votes in the 2024 Presidential Election.
Pence could have gone down in history as a hero- now he will got down in history as a coward.
And this is why most of us think they are either idiot losers, or actually working for the other side.
These pieces of sh*t need Joe Biden rammed down their throat, because their refusal to fight makes *THEM* responsible for what is happening now.
145 GOP House members voted for Liz Cheney in Feb 2021.
Most of the elected GOP are Bush League Republicans, aka Assistant Democrats.
Will vote for Biden or Hillary before I ever support that coward piece of sh*t.
I withheld comment but would have said something like these people are going to be in the majority next year...
Quite a few of these same people were responsible for the Kenyanesian Usurpation, from which all of the stuff done to Trump flows, including the Big Steal.

No. we had him as Governor and he really was quite cowardly at caving to RATs. He talks about values but hasn’t the courage to stand for them. He is a totally owned by Deep State entity.
He is like weak sauce.
Any fault lies in the cheating that MAY have been done by the Democrats...proving it is another thing.
Which demonstrates how getting rid of TRUMP was and still is essential to the uniparty. They will do whatever they have to.
Republican Study Committee - A group of Republican RINO that meet in Congress and pretend to be conservative.
Mike Pence showed his loyalty to his fellow ‘cool, cool men’, but not to all the country’s voters who voted for his boss!
(’cool, cool men’ a song from play-movie 1776’, still true today
Not a moment goes by where these POSs don’t give you a reason to hate them more and more.
Save a small handful, it’s nothing more than Kabuki theater. And they still get sent back.
Chip Roy is disappointing...
How very Pence.
But you would vote for Biden and or Hillary?
