Shoe-leather. Where they should be looking.

I understand. I get what you're saying. However, don't you think that is counter to the separation of powers? The Vice President/President-of-the-Senate is the one who counts the votes. So it doesn't make sense for Congress to try to pass some shit to tell the vice president what he/she can or cannot do. Vice President should count how they want to count. Pence is a fruit loop, and fucked up for sure.

They cannot alter the constitution without amendment. It clearly states in the 12th amendment "the president of the senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted:" it doesn't say that the vice president should refuse certificates and voters like what happened in 2020.
