One thing the House select committee investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection proved beyond a shadow of a doubt is that the U.S. Constitution means essentially … nothing.
If the Constitution meant something, really meant something, none of those who participated in the attack on the Capitol and none of those who gave them “aid or comfort” would ever again have anything to do with the U.S. government.
As part of its 845-page final report the committee suggests that former President Donald Trump should be banned from holding public office. They suggest Congress create a “formal mechanism” to do such a thing.As if the mechanism doesn’t already exist.
When they all know it exists.
We simply choose not to enforce it.
The mechanism to send the treasonous supporters of the Jan. 6 insurrection packing is laid out, simply and succinctly, in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
It reads:
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.
