"If the Vice President had this power to determine the outcome of a Presidential election, why hasn't it ever been used before?"

"I mean, John, back in 2000, you weren't jumping up and saying Al Gore had this authority to do that."

"Al Gore conceded. Of course, Al Gore was the Vice President at the time, but he never suggested that he could simply declare himself the winner."

"Even Dr. Eastman knew his theory didn't hold water."
