United States Vice President Mike Pence, on Wednesday, told the U.S. congress that he has no constitutional powers to singlehandedly disprove votes already certified by various states after the November 3, 2020, presidential election.
Pence disclosed this to the legislators in a formal letter on Wednesday as supporters of President Donald Trump surround Capitol Hill.
“It is my considered judgement that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not,” he stated.
But U.S. President Donald Trump has said that he is banking on Pence to ensure the votes are not certified.
“If Vice President Mike Pence comes through for us, we will win the Presidency. Many States want to decertify the mistake they made in certifying incorrect and even fraudulent numbers in a process NOT approved by their State Legislatures (which it must be),” he tweeted.
The Congress, which is debating the legality of the results called by each state, has been forced into a recess as Trump supporters breached security at the Capitol hill.
Thousands of Trump protesters stormed the congress building and attempted to enter the building.
Trump is alleging electoral malpractice.
