Trump Slams Electoral Count Act Rewrite, Admits ‘All Others’ Thought Pence ‘Had Absolutely No Right to Do Anything’ Else
Once Donald Trump believes something, it’s virtually impossible for anyone to change his mind. A perfect example was and remains his insistence that “[b]illions of dollars are being paid to the United States by China in the form of trade tariffs!” which is categorically incorrect; importers pay tariffs, not exporters.
I’ll forego the “rigged” and “stolen” election as an example, given it’s been beaten to death a zillion times.
However, a related example was Trump’s continued insistence that Vice President Mike Pence, on January 6, 2021, had the authority to “send it back to the states,” meaning to reject 2020 presidential election results from certain states if he (Pence) thought they were illegitimate, and give Republicans in those states an opportunity to declare Trump the victor despite the actual vote count.
Not only does no mechanism exist by which Pence could have unilaterally attempted to “send it back to the states,” as Trump consistently pressured him to do; the Electoral Count Act of 1887 and the Twelfth Amendment would have rendered such an attempt unconstitutional.
That was then; this is now.
As reported by Just the News, Trump on Thursday blasted the Senate for planning to rewrite the Electoral Count Act to further restrict a state’s electors and to clarify the law’s language to clearly state the vice president does not have the authority to change the election results. Note: clarify, not add.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump inadvertently admitted that “almost all others” believed Pence did not have the constitutional authority to do anything other than preside over the Senate’s certification of EC votes.
So the Democrats, RINOS, and almost ALL others said that Mike Pence, or any V.P., had absolutely no right to do anything but send the ‘Votes’ to the Old Broken Crow, Mitch McConnell, even if they were fraudulent, corrupt, or highly irregular. The V.P. was merely a ‘human conveyer belt’ and could do nothing. BUT NOW, the DEMS & RINOS are working to pass a Bill that stops the V.P. from doing what he was not allowed, according to them, to do. It was all a ‘Big Lie.’ Should have sent back to States!
Top site ,.. amazaing post ! Just keep the work on !
I have come across that today, more and more people will be attracted to surveillance cameras and the area of photography. However, really being a photographer, you must first spend so much time deciding the model of video camera to buy and also moving store to store just so you could buy the most inexpensive camera of the trademark you have decided to choose. But it does not end generally there. You also have to think about whether you can purchase a digital digital camera extended warranty. Thanks a lot for the good tips I obtained from your weblog.
This design is steller! You obviously know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
