36. The new law relegates the VP to a strictly ceremonial role

He couldn’t accept fraudulent electors even if he wanted to.

Even if he proclaimed “I accept these electors” that wouldn’t make it so. If he directed the clerk to enter it into the record, he would be ignored.

SCOTUS couldn’t get involved, as they have no jurisdiction over internal congressional procedures.

Just because you can imagine something and type it on the internet doesn’t make that thing plausible, possible or probable.
