Also, validating election results is NOT a part of the President's official duties.  Elections are the purview of states.  Approval of the Electoral college votes is the purview of Congress.  Other than being a candidate, the President has no official election duties.  They can choose to appeal or request audits of the elections through the state boards of elections, but they don't call the secretary of state or the governor of a state to ask for help in finding votes.  They don't try to lobby state officials to change results.

The President should also not be lobbying the Vice President on his official duties, should not be holding a rally and encouraging his supporters to march up to Congress while Congress is counting and approving the electoral college votes and suggesting that the supporters "show support" for some Congressmen and "show less support" for other Congressmen.  He did all of these things as a private citizen who was a candidate for the office of President.  Not as the incumbent President in office.

The President has NO official duties that are involved with the elections.  So, trying to say that any of his actions surrounding January 6 were his official duties is a blatant fabrication and an attempt to steal the election from his opponent, who was the rightfully elected President-elect.[/quote]
