Trump Is Constitutionally Barred From Holding Office.

[Into Тhe Night]

According to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

According to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,

He has to be found guilty of it first for it to apply.

Secondly you will notice the president isn't mentioned in there anywhere.

Constitutionally the president can still run.

"or hold any office"

"or hold any office"

The Supreme Court would have to rule on whether that is referring to the president or the positions listed before that statement.

I doubt if it will come to that, he is losing support.

 

[Hawkeye10]

As I said long ago is the plan, but only the first part of the plan, because Trump must suffer for creating so much resistance for the Revolution.

He should suffer because he is an incompetent liar, conman and crook.

And, a proof there are those that want to keep Trump from being able to run...

You said long ago? You mean 2020? That long ago?

I am almost certain Trump didn't fight for the Confederacy during the Civil War........

His minions, on his command, attempted to overthrow an election by force. Trump should have mobilized military forces to defend the Capitol, but it's obvious why he didn't.

According to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,

The highest office that is likely to apply to is Senator. President doesn't seem to meet anything in the section, unfortunately.

Good thing we have a Supreme Court and that our Constitution is an evolving document that can be interpreted.

 

[Gondwanaland]

An accusation isn't a conviction.

It technically doesn't require a conviction. That said, the clause isn't applicable to the President or someone running for president.

 

[IBDaMann]

Good thing we have a Supreme Court and that our Constitution is an evolving document that can be interpreted.

It's not the Supreme Court that has the authority to interpret the Constitution. The States reserve that authority.

According to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,

What was the date when trump was convicted of "insurrection"? I clearly missed it.
