I Heard This Week
There are those in our party who believe that, as presiding officer over the joint session of Congress, that I possess unilateral authority to reject Electoral College votes. And I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to overturn the election. But President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election. The presidency belongs to the American people, and the American people alone. And frankly there is no idea more unamerican than the notion that any one person could choose the American president. Under the Constitution I had no right to change the outcome of our election.
