Putz, you made a false statement and you’ve been called on it. So, what follows is not for you but for those wishing to learn about US History.
The Electoral Count Act of 1887 (ECA) (Pub.L. 49–90, 24 Stat. 373, later codified at Title 3, Chapter 1) is a United States federal law adding to procedures set out in the Constitution of the United States for the counting of electoral votes following a presidential election.
The ultimate arbiter of Electors are STATE LEGISLATURES, not Governors, not Congress, not the President of the US Senate (VP).
Under the Twelfth Amendment, the Vice President (as President of the Senate) opens the electoral certificates. The Act clarifies the Vice President’s limited role in the count.
The Twelfth Amendment says nothing about January 6. January 6 is a day scheduled for convenience of Congress and can be changed, especially if serious objections are filed for hearing.
According to Congress, both houses can:
1. Overrule the Vice President’s decision to include or exclude votes and,
2. Under the ECA, even if the chambers disagree, the governor’s certification, not the Vice President, breaks the tie.
THERE WERE OBJECTORS IN BOTH CHAMBERS OF CONGRESS SCHEDULED TO SPEAK AND PRESENT EVIDENCE ON JANUARY 6, 2021. PENCE BLEW THEM OFF.
Thus, the Constitution’s 12th Amendment was proceeding until Pence decided on his own that the 12th Amendment was irrelevant by distracting with the lie that he was being asked to “overturn the election.” This is a lie. He was asked to delay his counting until objections were heard and votes were taken.
The proper response for Judas Pence was to announce that the counting of Electoral Votes would be delayed until scheduled objections were heard in both chambers and votes were taken.
Pence did not do this.
Instead, he framed his treason as “refusing to overturn an election.”
He joined in the coup of President Trump who won by a landslide.
That is why they initiated the J6 tempest, to disrupt the actual objections and prevent the evidence of the coup from being exposed.
This is 100% false. Go back and review the proceedings of January 6th.
1. Individual members of Congress submitted objections to the electoral votes of six states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
2. Under the ECA you cited, an objection to a state’s electoral votes is only considered if the objectors include at least one member of each house of Congress. Only the Arizona and Pennsylvania objections met this standard.
3. Both houses of Congress voted BY OVERWHELMING MARGINS to override the objections to those two states.
4. January 6th is not established as a firm date in the Constitution, but the 12th Amendment clearly states that the VP must provide over a joint session of Congress to count the electoral votes. In the absence of a fixed date set in the Constitution, Congress establishes the date of that joint session (1/6/21) — just like it established the date of Election Day (11/3/16) and the date of the electoral vote certification (12/14/16).
5. The VP is the presiding officer for the joint session of Congress, not a dictator. He cannot unilaterally delay or adjourn that session without a vote of the full Congress.
