Pence tells Trump that he lacks the authority to overturn Biden's victory: Report

US President Donald Trump mounted pressure on his vice president Mike Pence to help in overturning President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. While Pence has told Trump that he lacks authority to block certification of Democratic leer when Congress meets to count electoral votes. Sources have revealed to CNN that Pence has informed Trump during a meeting that power doesn’t exist for him to derail entire democratic process in United States.

Earlier, during Georgia rally before run-off elections on January 5, Trump h hoped that Pence would “come through for us”. As per reports, both Trump and Pence have been meeting with several lawyers and officials in recent days in a bid to overturn results of vember 2020 presidential elections. Pence will be presiding on Wednesday (local time) over a roll call of states and if even one senator and one House member raises an objection to results from a state, lawmakers can force a debate of nearly two hours about US Election 2020 results. 

debate would have to be followed by separate votes of each chamber certifying state’s results. However, since both House and Senate have to agree on doing same and house is controlled by Democrats, chances of that happening are close to null. Even though Pence said in Georgia rally that he was rey “hear objections and evidence”, reports have emerged vice president told Trump that even though outliers are claiming that he has authority, Pence has been told by White House Counsel's Office he doesn't have that authority.
