Trump is still hawking the delusional interpretation of the Constitution under which the Vice President as President of the Senate can single-handedly overturn an election by refusing to count the votes of the electors. The Vice President's duties in this regard are purely ministerial: he (or she) is to count the votes of the electors as submitted by the states.
What I'm about to post
@The_Reader_David is, for some, considered to be very complicated. So be forewarned: Attention should be given:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Constituion (of the United States) states in the Electors Clause that "Each State shall appoint, in such
manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of Electors equal to [...]" IOW, that legislature in each state is
solely responsible for certifying the electors from their state.
Prior to Jan 6, 2021 (an arbitrary deadline set by Congress, not by the Constitution) representatives from five separate state legislatures sent a letter to the President of the Senate (the Vice President) detailing their concerns about and proof to date of fraud not known when the electors were previously certified. The representatives from the STATE LEGISLATURES requested a 10 day review period to confirm the legality of the certification or perform a recertification to bring electors in line with state law.
NOTICE: Not one legislative representative asked the President of the Senate to overturn an election or render void the electors. They asked for the President of the Senate to suspend final recording of the electors until the men and women given the SOLE responsibility for choosing electors have a chance to review the legality of the certification.
Pence's first offense: He arbitrarily overruled the US Constitution and denied the requests from the ones given the sole authority to appoint and certify electors.
IOW, when representatives of state legislatures say, "Something stinks in Denmark, we need to take a second look", the President of the Senate has no authority to deny the request.
Let me REPEAT: No one asked the President of the Senate to overturn an election or render void electors. Mike Pence was asked to follow the Constitution and allow each of the five legislatures 10 days to confirm or correct the legality of prior certifications. Remember, January 6 is a deadline set by Congress, not the Constitution.
January 6, 2021"3 U.S. Code § 15 - Counting Electoral Votes in Congress" states: "Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received." .
Pence's second offense: When Congress reconvened after the "insurrection", the President of the Senate arbitrarily stopped the call for objections as he continued to record the certified electors as submitted --- even though those lined up had the objection in writing signed by at least one Senator and one member of the House of Representatives. Pence simply stared down the incredulous lawmakers before him as he pounded them into silence with this gavel.
Again, NOTICE: No one was asking Mike Pence to do anything other than follow the law. No one expected any certifications to be overturned. If the objection had been made and sustained, the certification as submitted would have been returned to (say it with me) the STATE LEGISLATURES for review.
