LOL! No way, Jose. The Constitution doesn't require Gore to certify the results of the Electoral College. According to the Constitution, Article II, Section 3, and 12th Amendment, he "shall" (mandatory) open the sealed lists of votes in the presence of the Senate and the House of Representatives "and the votes shall be counted." Assuming that he refuses, according to the 20th Amendment, Gore will cease to be Vice President on January 20, 2000, and then Congress can open the sealed lists. In the meantime, the United States Supreme Court could order him to open the sealed lists, but they don't actually have the power to force him to do it if he won't.
