I mean, under the Constitution, the vice president’s role is only to preside over a session of Congress where the electoral college votes are opened and counted.
The way that he did. So you know we have, we haven't chatted in a while, but yeah, I, you know, I'll be honest with you, that I'll never minimize what happened on January 6.
That’s it. And no vice president in history had ever asserted any authority to decide what votes to count or send back to the states ... so I knew my duty was clear and I’ll always believe, by God’s grace, I did my duty.
I’ll never minimize what happened on January 6. I’ll always believe, by God’s grace, we did our duty that day… the peaceful transfer of power under the Constitution.
