Before you bash me understand I hate Democrats and Rinos. This post is discussing our assertions that the 12th Amendment somehow gives Pence the unilateral right to affect the outcome of this election. Don't waste my time with other bullshit that doesn't have anything to do with the issue in this post, or all you will be doing is making a straw man argument. I had half a million positive upvotes on Reddit before I left and a quarter million here. So don't you dare fucking call me a Doomer.

I'm trying to get you people back to reality and stop talking about irrelevant routes to recovering the stolen election. There are other routes... but the 12th Amendment isn't one of them

When it comes to replacing the President and Vice President elect the 12th Amendment specifically says , after requiring the current president of the Senate to count every certified vote delivered to him, to follow certain rules if neither of the candidates have a majority of the electoral votes.

However, Section 3 of the 20th Amendment provides for choosing a president and vice president to supersede the President and Vice President elect only in two cases.

  1. In the event of death.

  2. In the event Congress passes a LAW declaring either candidate unqualified. If this happens it goes back to the rules in the 12th Amendment for choosing a new president and or vice president using one vote per state

With Democrats still controlling the house there is no chance in hell this will happen. So stop talking about it because it makes us look stupid
