Oh, but I am. I have read the documents, laws, etc. There is no such mechanism and none of the State legislatures met to send any different slates of electors.
What if he did it anyway? What if he raised a holy hell of a stink about how corrupt the election was, and what if he put forth the opinion that Biden's numbers are impossible, and therefore faked, and he was not going to go along with any of it? What if he directed that the election be sent to the House? Would we be worse off than now?
No, but he had no such power to do so and making such comments would have been out of order for the proceedings. He could not direct it to be sent to the House as the House had no power to do so unless a candidate did not have a majority of Electors. And that did not occur. You know that. I refer you back to the posted quoted above about the Constitutional Presidential Election.
Disagree. The founders never contemplated a situation in which any honorable man would agree to corruption simply because it was ceremoniously expected for him to approve.
They put the "President of the Senate" into the breach to insure that there was one last fail safe to stop corruption.
It never occurred to them to have to say to a man who would be President that he should not agree to *DISHONORABLE, CORRUPT*, acts.
No, but he had no such power to do so and making such comments would have been out of order for the proceedings.
Being "out of order"? Oh my God noooo!!! Not thaaaat!!!! Anything but that!
How does massive destruction of the nation and possibly World War III compare to being out of order?
It's a good thing we averted that fate through Pence being a milquetoast milksop coward.
Had he just started punching people, it would have been a better outcome. Had he done *ANYTHING* to throw a taint on the coronation of Joe Biden, it would have been a better outcome. Had he JUST WALKED OUT, it would have been a better outcome.
Doing virtually anything else would have been better than what he did.
