THERE WERE OBJECTORS IN BOTH CHAMBERS OF CONGRESS SCHEDULED TO SPEAK AND PRESENT EVIDENCE ON JANUARY 6, 2021. PENCE BLEW THEM OFF.

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.

Wrong again.

Per law and rules of Congress, need only one member from each chamber to object.

This was posted extensively more than two years ago with reference links.

Now because you're so dug into your own BS, you will predictably put up more lame distraction. So, the following is not for you but for those reading and learning facts of law:

Here's the pertinent excerpt and link to law:

3 U.S. Code § 15 - Counting electoral votes in Congress

This is the final word on the subject in this thread in response to Alberta whatever who has discredited his/herself by falsely claiming Judas Pence acted according to the Constitution and the law.
