Lisa Murkowski Works with Liz Cheney to Abolish VP’s Authority to Certify Presidential Elections

Wendell Husebø 20 Sep 2022
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AR) is working with outgoing Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) to remove a vice president’s capacity to officially certify or ask if senators have objections to the electoral process in presidential elections.

The legislative initiative would curtail the 1887 Electoral Count Act, which gives the president of the Senate (vice president) the authority in the Senate to certify a presidential election if no objections are made. The U.S. Code states:

Quote
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.

But Murkowski and Cheney want to change the law so the vice president no longer has the authority to certify or call for objections. The legislation is supported by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Both chambers have their own version of the bill. The Senate version is sponsored by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).

The legislative proposal follows claims that former Vice President Mike Pence did not have the authority to decertify the 2020 presidential election vote. Yet the proposed legislation acknowledges that Pence could have decertified the vote, throwing the electoral process into uncharted territory.

“Some leaders even argue that the vice president of the United States can reject or refuse to count electoral votes and thereby select the president. This is legal absurdity,” Cheney claimed Monday during a speech at the American Enterprise Institute.

It is not the first time that Murkowski and Cheney have worked together. Both legislators voted to impeach former President Donald Trump. Both have voted with Democrats on numerous occasions to further President Joe Biden’s  political goals.

Murkowski and Cheney are Democrat Communist Party disciples so why wouldn't they vote with them?

So...what happens if Murkowski is defeated in November by a Dem?  It would signal the voters are tired of voting Dem-light and just go Dem.

IMO Cheney is acknowledging that Cruz and Hawley's objections never being heard have some merit in the situation and that Pence was WRONG in certifying the election before those objections were heard.

I dunno.  Maybe.  She's on a ballot for November.   :shrug: :shrug:

Yes Alaska is ranked voting. Murkowski will be there with a GOP candidate and another DCP candidate.

This RCV really mucked things up!  May it be a hideous reminder and warning to others.
