The Constitution Prohibits Trump From Ever Being President Again

[Lakhota]

J. Michael Luttig is a former federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

Laurence H. Tribe is the Carl M. Loeb University Professor of Constitutional Law Emeritus at Harvard University.

The only question is whether American citizens today can uphold that commitment.

As students of the United States Constitution for many decades—one of us as a U.S. Court of Appeals judge, the other as a professor of constitutional law, and both as constitutional advocates, scholars, and practitioners—we long ago came to the conclusion that the Fourteenth Amendment, the amendment ratified in 1868 that represents our nation’s second founding and a new birth of freedom, contains within it a protection against the dissolution of the republic by a treasonous president.

This protection, embodied in the amendment’s often-overlooked Section 3, automatically excludes from future office and position of power in the United States government—and also from any equivalent office and position of power in the sovereign states and their subdivisions—any person who has taken an oath to support and defend our Constitution and thereafter rebels against that sacred charter, either through overt insurrection or by giving aid or comfort to the Constitution’s enemies.

The historically unprecedented federal and state indictments of former President Donald Trump have prompted many to ask whether his conviction pursuant to any or all of these indictments would be either necessary or sufficient to deny him the office of the presidency in 2024.

Colorado Disqualified Trump From 2024 Ballot Based On 14th Amendment — Here’s What To Know About Their Reasoning​

Section three of the 14th Amendment, enacted in the aftermath of the Civil War, states no person shall “hold any [state or federal] office” if they’ve previously taken an oath of office and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the [U.S.], or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

The debate over whether Trump could be disqualified under the amendment gained steam among legal experts earlier this year after conservative legal scholars William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulson said in a forthcoming law review article, which was published as a preprint, that the Jan. 6, 2021, rebellion disqualifies Trump from being president again—and “the case is not even close”—arguing the section is still in effect and is “ready for use.”

That sentiment was echoed by other legal experts, with conservative legal scholar J. Michael Luttig and left-leaning Laurence Tribe jointly writing for the Atlantic in support of Trump being disqualified under the 14th Amendment, arguing, “No person who sought to overthrow our Constitution and thereafter declared that it should be ‘terminated’ and that he be immediately returned to the presidency can in good faith take the oath” required of presidents.

The Constitution Prohibits Trump From Ever Being President Again​

Blow it out your ass. It says no such thing you filthy psycho pathetic liar.

If it did, then any time there is a candidate on the ticket the other party doesn't like, they could just drum up baseless accusations to bump him off.

And it wouldn't take THREE YEARS of intense investigation and digging. It would be obvious and cut and dry and would be known immediately, not decided three years later.

Even Eugene V. Debbs, a determined true insurrectionist charged with acts against the United States wasn't excluded from office. To do that requires the highest standards of proof, not the rash baseless opinions of four hack leftwing judges in Denver. I mean, Debbs was in prison for sedition and he STILL was allowed to run for office!!!

The SCOTUS will deal with this.

But I want you to listen to something. Not that you will, but others who are actually intellectually inclined will.

The only way out of this is for the US Supreme Court to formally rule on whether January 6, 2021 was an Insurrection at law.

If they rule that January 6, 2021 was NOT an Insurrection at law, then Trump can go back on the ballot.

If they rule that January 6, 2021 WAS an Insurrection at law, then Trump will stay OFF the ballot.

Without formal charges of "Insurrection"? Yes.

Without a conviction on such charges? Yes.

Precedent?

A great many Confederates were prohibited from ever again holding office merely by PARTICIPATING in Insurrection.

Even though they were never formally charged or convicted.

Fast-forward 150 years or so, and that same safeguard may be conveniently applied here.

Laugh it off asshole but you know I'm right. The USA vs. Eugene Debbs sets case law as a precedent. He was a true seditionist and convicted AND in prison and was still allowed to run. You didn't even bother reading my links you stupid cornhole fucker. No one has determined that Trump engaged in insurrection. No one has determined that Trump held a rebellion against the USA. That is just PURE FUCKING FANTASY by you leftwing screwballs, thinking if you keep saying it, it will be believed true. I could make a better case against a dozen democrats.

Further, let's say he did. Not only doesn't the 14th mention the president, the highest office as being subject to that, while listing lower offices (it should be the other way around if true), but it gives the power to exclude a candidate to CONGRESS you jackhole, not to a couple of bums in state office. If it were any other way, you'd never get all 50 states to all agree on the same candidates!

Worse, they based their entire legal opinion on the finding of a show trial committee, the J6 committee which was all democrats and a couple of handpicked anti-Trumper republicans with the express intent of finding Trump guilty before the investigation even started, then these four bums in Colorado based their findings while EXCLUDING all evidence from the hearing that found Trump innocent, including excluding the SIGNED FUCKING LETTER by Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of DC REJECTING Trump's request for increased security on the day of J6.

So you keep stroking yourself, jackhole, Trump will not be excluded from next years election. Another desperate swing and a miss by you pathetic fucks.

Colorado has the right to run the election in their state.
If found guilty of being responsible for taking part in a plot to overthrow the election, ending in sending a mob to march on The Capital. He definitively went back on his oath to protect and defend the constitution and should be disqualified to run for any office, across the country.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

The USA vs. Eugene Debbs sets case law as a precedent. He was a true seditionist and convicted AND in prison and was still allowed to run.

Debs was convicted under the Espionage Act of interfering with military recruitment. He never waged insurrection against the constitution.

If anything, Debs works against Donald, because Debs put forward a free speech defense that the court rejected. The intended effect of Debs' speech was seen to be controlling. The intended effect was to thwart military recruitment, therefore Debs was convicted. On that basis, Donald's intended effect of his speech on January 6 was to retain the Presidency for himself despite his loss in the election. That constitutes insurrection against the constitution.
