here is what the constitution says - it does NOT include any requirement that the house/senate members to object, debate etc

that process is in a law passed by congress which of course cannot contradict the constitution - which while disguised as parlimentary procedure seems to do exactly that

so there you have it

The Electoral Count Act of 1887

 

The law has been criticized since it was enacted, with an early commenter describing it as "very confused, almost unintelligible."[2]:643 Modern commenters have stated that the law "invites misinterpretation," observing that it is "turgid and repetitious" and that "[i]ts central provisions seem contradictory.

For example, one key ambiguity in Section 4 (now 3 U.S.C. ยง 15) involves a situation where multiple slates of electors are sent from a state, and the House and Senate cannot agree whether the law requires the slate certified by the governor to count, or requires that no slate should be counted.[4]
