Two law professors active in the Federalist Society wrote that the original meaning of the 14th Amendment makes Donald Trump ineligible to hold government office.

Two prominent conservative law professors have concluded that Donald J. Trump is ineligible to be president under a provision of the Constitution that bars people who have engaged in an insurrection from holding government office. The professors are active members of the Federalist Society, the conservative legal group, and proponents of originalism, the method of interpretation that seeks to determine the Constitution’s original meaning.

The professors — William Baude of the University of Chicago and Michael Stokes Paulsen of the University of St. Thomas — studied the question for more than a year and detailed their findings in a long article to be published next year in The University of Pennsylvania Law Review.

He summarized the article’s conclusion: “Donald Trump cannot be president — cannot run for president, cannot become president, cannot hold office — unless two-thirds of Congress decides to grant him amnesty for his conduct on Jan. 6.”

The two law professors and members of the Federalist Society make a good case.

Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment forbids holding office by former officeholders who then participate in insurrection or rebellion.

If Trump does not fit this to a T, not sure what else does.

There was no fucking "insurrection" nitwit

That was last minute CYA. Trump had been inciting them to violence for more than six weeks. He left all those poor suckers in the Capitol mob high and dry.

Trump raged for two months saying he was robbed, the election was stolen, they should fight and take back their country... Even though he knew all along that he had lost the election.
