What we’re talking about here is telling people that you can’t vote for the candidate of your choice"
Arnold Schwarzenegger is the candidate of my choice. I can’t vote for Arnold; Article II declares he is not qualified due to his national origin.
Taylor Swift is the candidate of my choice. I can’t vote for Taylor; Article II declares she is not qualified due to her age.
I can’t vote for a 40-year-old American citizen, born in Cleveland, who lived in Canada from age 5 to 35; Article II says they aren’t qualified due to not having spent 14 years in the country.
Likewise, I can’t vote for the candidate of my choice if that candidate has engaged in insurrection or rebellion, unless 2/3 of both the House and Senate allow their candidacy; 14th amendment added that qualification.
An unqualified person cannot become a candidate for the presidency. If Trump is determined to have participated in insurrection, he is not qualified to become president.
Further, under the 14th amendment, he was unqualified to hold the office of President after January 6th, so any executive actions he took in the last two weeks of his term should be considered null and void.
Nailed it. Flawless logic.
I missed that the one in Minnesota got dismissed. That was because it didn’t address the 14th amendment, it was to see if trump could be on the primaries ticket. I do like the sound of this, but you never know. I watched the Colorado case and that judge, no matter what she decides is solid. She was really paying attention, asked questions for both sides to get the info out, and wanted to be as fair as possible,
Two leading conservative law professors, William Baude and Michael Paulsen, said in a September article that there are grounds for disqualifying Trump under the insurrection clause.
I think if Trump had been actually convicted of instigating the Jan 6 insurrection at this point these cases would have a much better chance of success.
The Consitution doesn’t say anything about conviction. Congress should vote and if 2/3 of the House and 2/3 of the Senate approve, then he can run.
I misread what you wrote, that is a fantastic idea. He has to prove he deserves it, like it should be.
America’s already past the game over screen… Give this one to the chubby cupcake. It doesn’t matter anymore.
