President Donald Trump is having a tough time finding ways to change the reported results of the 2020 presidential election, but there is still one Ace in the deck.
No, it is not martial law or the Insurrection Act, but Vice President Mike Pence who can, singlehandedly, deliver the White House to President Trump until 2024.
On January 6, beginning at 1p.m. EST Congress begins counting the Electoral Votes for president and vice president and that is where things get tricky.
“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. When all objections so made to any vote or paper from a State shall have been received and read, the Senate shall thereupon withdraw, and such objections shall be submitted to the Senate for its decision; and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, in like manner, submit such objections to the House of Representatives for its decision; and no electoral vote or votes from any State which shall have been regularly given by electors whose appointment has been lawfully certified to according to section 6 of this title from which but one return has been received shall be rejected, but the two Houses concurrently may reject the vote or votes when they agree that such vote or votes have not been so regularly given by electors whose appointment has been so certified,” the 12th Amendment of the Constitution says.
