But, as long as he did so with the consent of Congress, it would be less damaging to our system of government than what happened on Jan 6.

What damage was done to our system of government?  Does it not continue to function?  Sure, the current administration could best be described as fumbling blindly in the dark, but that's not a product of Jan 6th.

Jan 6 is shorthand for the whole series of damaging events.
Think about how Trump tried to get Brad raffensberger to violate the constitution and change the outcome for him. Think about how Trump tried to get Mike Pence to violate the constitution and change the outcome for him. We've now set a precedent that a president can try to induce others to violate the constitution, and he won't be removed from office or barred from office for it. How would you feel if Biden followed this precedent?
We have more elections coming up in 2022 and 2024. Should Biden start publicly calling for election officials and Kamala Harris to fudge the counting of votes now, or should he wait until after election day? How would you feel about that?
