See, this is the biggest problem with having these discussions: they require that we all know the facts. The VP does not count the votes. The House and Senate tellers do. If the Vice President has no power in this matter, then it is unnecessary for this job to be performed by the Vice President. It renders the article "of no effect."
This is clearly wrong by established interpretation standards.

"If the Vice President has no power in this matter, then it is unnecessary for this job to be performed by the Vice President. It renders the article "of no effect." "Your problem is with the US Constitution, not with me. The VP has never counted votes. The VP has never had control over which votes to count. Doing so would be a blatant conflict of interest. Gore would have simply refused to count and Bush votes in 2000. Suddenly Gore is president by unanimous vote?
