I think you just stepped into something stinky. Many people falsely assume that Dick Cheney called for objections that day when Hope and Change exuberantly erupted from the Senate Floor on January 8, 2009. He did NOT. And the Dems were too busy patting themselves on the back salivating over the evil they had planned for America to even notice that the established chamber protocol of calling for Objections upon formal votes was breached that day. Obama had the legal sense to ask for a do-over on January 21 for his botched Inauguration Day Oath; the Senate, however, did NOT fix their January 8th error.
I submit the following from the archives. First, listen to the rules as set forth by Cheney in the first 90 seconds, then jump forward on the video to 26 minutes once the states are counted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcGt8hQZzg4&feature=related The REQUIREMENT for the Calling of Objections is codified HERE:
3 USC Sec. 15 01/03/2007
"Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections" (emphasis added) Furthermore, if Electoral College delegates accepted on face value that Obama is a "natural-born Citizen" based off "proof" they collectively viewed on their freaking computer monitors ...

Those EC delegates deserve to be smacked in the arse for their incompetence and dereliction to their Constitutional duty by that same ten foot poll for letting this happen without exercising a scintilla of DUE DILIGENCE.

Yes, Cheney failed to call for objection. The word "shall' is mandatory.
I believe Apuzzo in his brief has noted the failure to follow the US code for counting electoral votes by Congress.
