Senate Democrats Craft Bill to Prevent Vice Presidents from Adjusting Presidential Election Results.

Friday, February 4, 2022

For those who say VP Mike Pence COULD NOT HAVE declined to accept, or delayed accepting, each state's slate of Electors and their Votes on January 6, 2021...HE INDEED COULD HAVE.

If Pence had tried to overturn the election, “there really weren’t good, clear answers because there was no precedent,” said Schiff, who believes it is still an open question as to how Congress could prevent an illegal attempt to block a legitimate election in the future.

One possible remedy is an update to the Electoral Count Act of 1877 — which, along with the Constitution’s 12th Amendment — governs the process. Changes to the law could clarify that the vice president’s role is strictly ceremonial or make it harder for lawmakers to challenge the electors.

Which is why Democrats in the U.S. Senate have crafted a bill to keep V.P. Harris, or future Vice Presidents, from making any decisions regarding the electors, or changing any aspect of the official Presidential election results.

As we have seen countless times over the past 20 years, TRUMP WAS RIGHT.

Pence not only had the right he had the obligation.

He is a traitor

Not to obvious they're subliminally admitting the 2020 "Certs" should have been challenged and re-bound 😎

Isn't it helpful to introduce legislation that further inhibits federal officials from influencing or discrediting election results outside of standard congress procedures?

They might fear VP Kamala Harris could attempt to overturn a (hypothetical) Biden re-election in 2024 in her favor !!!!!!! 🤫🥳

Sure he 'could' have. Trick is ... he did what he was expected to do by the people who gave him power.

You see ... power has a strong similarity to firearms ... in that each has to be pried away from cold, dead hands.

Pence was an establishment politician. He liked Trump as much as any of the rest of 'em did. And ... that's exactly zero of 'em.

The votes came in from the states. If there was a reason to reject them, that rejection would have been based on an illegal activity. That would require Trump's DOJ to bring charges. But ... that didn't happen.

The easier way for Trump to stay in power would have been to step-up as leader of the insurrection and slaughter the whole of Congress and the Supreme Court (Pence too). He didn't have the guts ... even with the means at his ready disposal ... and power transitioned as it was supposed to.

Don't like it anymore than you do.

All a committee of 6 Republican Senators (led by Ted Cruz) was asking of Pence was to DELAY certifying the election for Biden until January 20th. By then, a massive investigation would have determined if Biden won legitimately, or by crooked means.

Pence SAID he was willing to go along with it, until changing his mind the morning of January 6th, the way you'd expect a spineless traitor to do: www.cnbc.com...

I can see where this removing all powers from the VP on certification day comes back to bite Kamala on 1/6/2025. She will be even lower than a nothingburger on that day.

The bill also removes all powers from Senators to question the results. Hell, you might as well just have a computer named R2D2 tally the results at the end of the Elector's meeting, and be done with it.

By then, she'll be President. Guaranteed. Have you noticed Joe's decline since January 1st? Today, MSNBC keep removing snippets of his Labor/Union speech. They had it on a 3 minute delay to make such frequent editing possible. I counted 5 edits...they were so obvious.

Where in the constitution is the VP authorized to decline or delay the electoral process?

Uh-huh. It's nice to think that, but you have no way of knowing. Gore's platform called for massive social spending which always ends up way more expensive than any war because it never, ever ends and always runs over budget.

I remember how, leading up to Jan 6th, the legislators/lawmakers of Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, designated an alternate set of Electors, these being for President Trump.

And crafted an URGENT letter requesting that VP Mike Pence delay certifying the election for Biden, due to evidence arriving that showed Biden probably didn't win.

Here's a news article on that subject dated 1.5.2021: apnews.com...

But Mike Pence had suddenly changed his mind, and closed it off. (Assuming he was telling the truth about being open minded prior to Jan 5th.)

There wouldn't need to be a law against this if there was a clear directive against it.

Senate Democrats Craft Bill to Prevent Vice Presidents from Adjusting Presidential Election Results.

When did Susan Collins become a Democrat? The State of Maine wants to know.

Sen. Collins Leads Group To Reform 1887 Electoral Count Act

“This is not a small matter,” she stated. “This 1887 law governs the counting and the certification of the presidential vote. And we saw on January 6th of 2021 how ambiguities in the law were exploited and we need to prevent that from happening again.”

We the people.....NOT we the one person.
What if the next election turns out to be Biden or whoever in the same position as Trump was and Harris did what Pence didn't do?
Just ponder that scenario and the chaos that would come about.

Wasn't Gore a Vice President riding on the coattails of an immensely popular Bill Clinton? It should not have even been close.
