2020 was an unusual election due to the Covid-19 mess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sure was.... and deliberately so since it ushered in a whole new range of options for DemRat electoral fraud that didn’t exist previously.
The reason the DS/democrats staged J6 was because they feared Trump was going to win when the process played out.
WHEN WE HAVE FAIR ELECTIIONS
No, he couldn’t have. Zero power, zero role, zero authority to do so for the Vice President. Also no mechanism existed nor exists to have done so. Even if theoretically it did, all it would have taken was an appeal of the ruling of the chair and you are back to square one.
Trump, and those who continue to say the same, only embarrass themselves. All you have to do is read the Constitution, law, and Congressional rules governing the same.
It is just simply false to state otherwise. It is not a matter that is even debatable, yet people continue to still spew this nonsense. Embarrassing.
Why? He's gotten himself a pretty good grift going off of it.
Right, this confirms that Pence is a traitor who didn’t perform his constitutional duty to investigate the massive voting fraud in the 2020 Big Steal. What an ‘effing weasel he is.
This country will cease to exist before anyone gets off their fat asses to do anything.
Poland seems to be about to send troops into Ukraine and fight the Russians.
That is a NATO nation in direct conflict in this war. The result will not be what the retards in DC think it will be.

Pence resigning would have made no difference. If there’s no VP on hand to preside, then, as Reily pointed out, the President Pro Tem of the Senate takes over.
This happened in 1969. VP Humphrey had probably expected to preside, but he was dispatched to Norway to represent the U.S. at the funeral of Trygve Lie. In his absence, the President Pro Tem (Senator Richard Russell) presided. Link to newspaper story: https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=BvsNAAAAIBAJ&sjid=x3sDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3226,4398264
Also, before the ratification of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment in 1967, there was no provision for filling a vacancy in the office of VP. Thus, there was no VP whenever the President or VP had died in office. This happened most recently on January 6, 1965.
Would a Pence resignation have “gummed up the works,” as freepersup suggests? No. It would have been purely routine – the President Pro Tem would have stepped in, as had happened in 1969 and several prior elections with no VP.
Then Pence’s FINGERPRINTS wouldn’t have been on the outcome and he could at least maintain some semblance of dignity, and innocence- in the STEAL!
Which is another point altogether.
Powerful sauce. Thread contributors... what say yee?
It’s hardly a dead horse if it affects future elections.
Don’t forget Josh Hawley’s count of all the challenged election results in the past, including two on the federal level.
Remove any chance of opposition and it is no longer a certification process, it’s just a ritual. Why even bother with it anymore?
Why? I mean if the State Legislatures who have the enumerated constitutional authority to determine their state’s elections don’t have the backbone to stand up to fraud .... how is it fair to place the burden entirely on Pence.
Really surprised Trump didn’t see this pukes true colors before he took him on as VP. Like many in is administration that was infiltrated by the enemy
Exactly!
Good history lesson.
If Pence resigned would not Nancy Pelosi take his place?
Check
Trump’s view is logical.
If, as the laws were on Jan 6, Pence could not hold up the electoral count finale, then no new law was needed, otherwise why did they have to change the law.
