Rep. L. Gohmert (R-Texas) VP Pence has ***Exclusive Authority*** to refuse EC Electors from Battleground States

GOP Lawmaker Sues Pence to Give Him ‘Exclusive Authority’ to Stop the Steal

Several Constitutional Law Professors concur:

Preparing for a dispute election, 51 Loyola University Chicago Law Journal 309, 325 (2019 )


"the “President of the Senate” has the exclusive constitutional authority to determine which “certificates” to
“open” and thus which electoral votes “to be counted.” This interpretation can derive support from the observation that the President of the Senate is the only officer, or instrumentality, of government given an active role
in the process of opening the certificates and counting the electoral votes from the states. The Senate and House of Representatives, on this view, have an observational role only. "

“It doesn’t matter that Gohmert has little chance of legal success. This is a deliberate attempt to expand the powers of the vice presidency into something it was never intended to be. And if it was Vice President-elect Kamala Harris rather than Pence in this position, Gohmert and every single other Republican supporting this lawsuit would be the first to raise hell.

But now, these very same congressmen, many of whom claim to defend and uphold the Constitution, are attempting to turn the federal government into their own personal banana republic. They will fail, but not before they risk bringing everyone else down with them — Trump included.”

Post #5 shows that Constitutional Law Professors agree that VP Pence has the exclusive authority to determine which EC electors to accept - the ones chosen by the Demo Rats and RINO's or the ones chosen by the GOP Representatives.

Well you use a lot of asterisks in your title so it must be true.

They can't be disappointed if they're just pretending, trolling and lying.

Pence has already refused to play. They tried negotiating with him prior to filing the suit. He refused.

Like the expansion of the Presidency that was never meant to be?

 

[rightwinger]

Makes sense

The Vice President has the authority to decide which electors he likes and which he doesn’t.

Founders planned it that way

Just like VP Biden did with Trump

 

[skye]

Rep. L.Gohmert is correct, as VP, Pence has total authority to refuse electors from battleground states...

And that's exactly what he will do come January 6th.

Thank you and well done Mr.VP!

 

[airplanemechanic]

Pence has already said he won't be a part of this.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

It'll be fun to watch this next two years as I've always thought that Louie Gohmert was far and away the dumbest member of Congress. The guy is a complete moron. Let's see if Marjorie Taylor Greene gives him a run for his money.
His lawsuit has no chance of going anywhere. Pence's duty is to certify the count. Which is exactly what he will do.

 

[mdk]

No, he doesn’t. Let’s be generously delusional and say he does: What would stop Vice-President Pence from just declaring himself president? Nothing.
