Original Note:
The role of the vice president, as president of the Senate, is to open envelopes with results from each state and announce the final tally. Neither the 12th Amendment nor the Electoral Control Act give the vice president any role beyond those two steps. https://www.npr.org/sections/congress-electoral-college-tally-live-updates/2021/01/06/953995808/pence-says-he-doesnt-have-power-to-reject-electoral-votes https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/amendments/amendment-xii https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/02/01/fact-check-trump-falsely-claims-pence-had-right-overturn-election/9284564002/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jan/05/donald-trump/does-mike-pence-have-power-reject-electoral-colleg/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1252869
