What was Pence's Responsibility on Jan 6h, 2021?

[MarcATL]

He did nothing wrong, he did everything right.

That being the case....

Why do so many Trump supporters hate him so?

What was he supposed to do?

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

What he was supposed to do constitutionally.
Stand up and certify the results of the election.

 

[TNHarley]

He did what he was supposed to do.
Some people just dont like him because he is a ******* war monger, votes yes on the patriot act and is a religious fanatic. Like me.

Not all Trump supporters hate Mike Pence.
He did his job on J6.
I'm not a fan of his view on abortion, it loses too many young voters.

As for Trump:
Trump's presidency was a miracle in itself, the biggest upset in US election history. Hillary and the DNC actually colluded with and paid Russians for "dirt" on Trump, aka the "Steele Dossier". Obama used the power of the DOJ, FBI, CIA and other Federal agencies to illegally spy on and setup Trump for failure. FBI operations Crossfire Hurricane and Razor, the Mueller Investigation, Russian Collusion Hoax, the MSM's constant 95% negative coverage and "fake news", Never-Trump Republicans, the Lincoln Project, globalists of every stripe, the entrenched Deep State who all oppose Trump's policies, the planted leakers and whistle-blowers, and the RINOs who'd rather shill for K-Street than work for main street. Then add to all of that the outright hatred shown by the House democrats toward Trump, to the point of "non-crime" Impeachment Articles, twice!!

Then during the 2020 election the high-tech oligarchs (Twitter & Facebook), et.al colluded with the FBI to cover-up the Biden crimes and buy the election; google “zuckerbucks” as an example. Not even investigating why 2020 had about 30m more votes than expected. When Elon Musk bought Twitter the truth came out. Now the Soros DA in NYC is indicting Trump for a non-crime. The Durham Report confirms that the FBI & DOJ are NOT upholding the LAWs of the United States, the US is on the verge of becoming a Fascist state, especially now since Trump was indicted for mishandling “classified” documents and the Biden crimes are being covered up, including cocaine in the WH.

 

[BULLDOG]

MAGAs hate him because they think he should have done trump's bidding regardless of what was right, what was constitutional, or any other consideration. That's how a cult works.

 

[leftwinger]

His responsibility is to do what is right for the Country.

Not allow Massive 2020 Election Fraud. He is OK with it. His actions afterwards show why he went along with the charade.//

Pence to decide race? Law profs say VP allowed to 'count' electoral votes

An analysis of the American Constitution and its subsequent election laws by two prominent law professors suggests that if there are Electoral College votes still in dispute when they are counted in Congress, the vice president, as presiding officer, could simply choose which to count.

But the Founders addressed the possibility that the Electoral College vote would fail to produce a winner, and it's possible that Electoral College votes would remain "under question, whether because of fraud in the vote, inability to county ballots accurately under neutral rules, or a dispute," even if they are certified by a governor.

"Under the 12th Amendment, 'the President of the Senate [i.e., the Vice President] shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates [of the electoral votes of the states] and the votes shall then be counted.' Left unclear is who is to 'count' the electors’ votes and how their validity is to be determined," they wrote.

"We suggest that the Vice President’s role is not the merely ministerial one of opening the ballots and then handing them over (to whom?) to be counted. Though the 12th Amendment describes the counting in the passive voice, the language seems to envisage a single, continuous process in which the Vice President both opens and counts the votes."

They argued that if "counting" the votes is the vice president's responsibility, "then the inextricably intertwined responsibility for judging the validity of those votes must also be his."

"If that reading is correct, then the Electoral Count Act is unconstitutional. Congress cannot use legislation to dictate how any individual branch of government is to perform its unique duties: Congress could not prescribe how future Senates should conduct an impeachment trial, for example. Similarly, we think the better reading is that Vice President Pence would decide between competing slates of electors chosen by state legislators and governors, or decide whether to count votes that remain in litigation."

The result could be no winner from the Electoral College, and the election then would go to the House of Representatives, where each state would get one vote.
