Exactly...so where does it say the president of the senate may or may not accept or reject slates of electors?
Where does it say the VP can determine fraud or fraudulent ballots?
Where is it in the constitution that says the VP has the authority to adjudicate good ballots and or bad ballots?
It doesn’t. We cannot read in to the constitution what we want it to say.
The duty of the president of the senate is to open the certificates and read out what has been certified by the states...that’s it.
I’m done.
Yup.
Says NOTHING about determining whether the votes are valid or not.
