And none objected.

Irrelevant.

Are you claiming that the President of the Senate can order State Legislatures into session, and can command their agendas?

No, but nice straw man. The point is that the VP as constitutional administrator of the electoral vote count can reject obvious fraud, just as the motor vehicle clerk can reject a fake birth certificate from a 14 year old who applied for a driver's license. The 2022 law confirms that Pence as VPOTUS had that power, but declined to exercise it.

That is 100% false. There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution or in Federal law that says any such thing.

A fellow we know as Mike Pence,
turned out to be really quite dense.
When the “vote count” was read,
he should have just said,
‘Hell, that don’t make ANY sense.”

Feel free to share!

Completely relevant since their power over that is plenary under the Constitution.

Nope, not even close to what he said at all. You are the one creating an argument that was not made so you can then "refute" something never said - quite obvious that is not what he said nor the point he was making.

The point is that the VP as constitutional administrator of the electoral vote count can reject obvious fraud, just as the motor vehicle clerk can reject a fake birth certificate from a 14 year old who applied for a driver's license.

Absolute fiction. No mechanism or power exists under the Constitution, laws governing the process, nor Congressional rules allowed for that at the time nor ever before. Otherwise you would be able to cite these mechanisms in the Constitution and laws which govern said process...you can't, because it doesn't exist. Likewise, you cannot cite where the Vice President has or ever had said powers in the Constitution or law because it does not and never existed. You just keep making up fictitious powers and assigning them to the VP and then say Pence failed to exercise powers that don't exist.
