“The congress votes to accept the elector votes.
Then, the VP comes along and rejects those elector votes.”

I believe you have the order wrong.

There is no reason to even accept or consider. He sends it to contingency without debate because there is no reason for debate.

I agree there is no reason to send it to debate if the vp is not going to accept them. But it is the senate and house that send it to debate, not the vp.

I am not arguing whether the vp has that power or not. That’s a separate issue.

U.S. Code 3, 15 refers to the V.P. counting “lawful” votes and just because a crooked Governor and SOS certify a vote that in itself does not make it “lawful” when there is overwhelming evidence that the vote was fraudulent.

2016 did not have several states with fraud being actively investigated and all evidence supporting the fraud...and one state (PA) asking to reject the electoral votes because the fraud is so overwhelming.

But hey, if you want to keep comparing apples to oranges, you’re the second freeper I’ve replied to today that can’t seem to keep his fruits straight.

No, he is not.

And if he and others were really so uncertain, he should have rejected them and then let it play out in court so that there would be precedent set for an old law.

Instead, he helped the DNC to institutionalize voter fraud that will ensure we never have a free and fair election in this country again.

Judas Pence is a traitor.

I don’t know what his actual state of salvation is, but he is no Christian in my book.

He can go straight to hell.

“This guy folded like a cheap suit when the whole gay pizza wedding thing happened.”

He’s really betting on the Deep State to pacify everyone so he may travel freely after this. The ‘Good Christian Man’.

The Constitution is lost. There is no Constitution and there hasn’t been one for many many years.

Ladies and gentleman, we have a winner! When the constitution becomes a roadmap to hell, it's time to drop kick it out the window. I want no part of a document that requires a stiff like Pence to ignore election fraud x 5 (at least) states.

“It is my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not,” Pence said in a statement released just before a joint session of Congress began.

Truer words never spoken - plain to anyone who has actually read the Constitution. When it is commanded that you "shall" do things, that isn't optional. When it doesn't assign you authority or power, you don't have it.

The Republican party hates deplorables even more than the Democrats do.

The party of Murkowski, Ryan and Romney.

Eff the Republican party. They are the new Whigs.
