Wrong. Pence was not asked to decide anything. He had a duty to stand back while objections were heard.
January 6 is not in the Constitution. January 20 is.
There is no constitutional requirement that Pence count ballots on January 6.
Pence knew there were objections, and he chose to make it an issue of “deciding the election.”
It was his flunky Chief of Staff Marc Short that wrote the Pence letter released on January 6.
Now Pence is trying to defend his treason.
This was a seminal moment in US History causing an internal war that is just getting going,
Three years on from now there will be accountability. Watch Pence flip-flop and say he didn’t know. He will blame it on Short.
Short could hang because Treason carries the death penalty.
We have only one life to live and when a crime of the magnitude of the 2020 election steal occurs, an example must be made to leave a mark on history for all to remember.
A DOJ rule change occurred in late November 2020 to reinstate or allow hangings and firing squads.
Please cite the provision in the Constitution that says the VP has a duty to "stand back while objections were heard."
The date for states to certify their electoral votes in 2020 was December 14th. That was established by Congress in accordance with the constitutional requirement for electors to be certified on a single date.
Once December 14th came and went and every state certified ONE slate of electors, there wasn't a damn thing Pence (or anyone else) could do that would have met any objective constitutional scrutiny.
