Trump tells court he had no duty to 'support' the Constitution as president

The Oath the POTUS takes does not use the word "support", thus the argument by his lawyers
Went over real well with the judge, eh? Trial on the citizen's lawsuit, scheduled for Oct 30th, by the judge's order after reading Donny's lawyer's motion to dismiss. Maybe you should contact the judge.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

:biggrin:
 
I have no idea if that’s true. I’ve no idea if trumps lawyers go to him for everything they are going to present in their case, beyond that, it’s also not apparent that they are even arguing that trump doesn’t have to support the cotus, they are making an argument about the application of S3 of the 14A based on the wording of the oath he takes.
Lawyers speak for their clients genius
 
Former President Donald Trump is arguing to a judge in Colorado that he was not required to "support" the Constitution as president, reported Brandi Buchman from Law & Crime.

The argument came as he seeks to dismiss a lawsuit filed in the state by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), seeking to have him disqualified from the ballot in the state under the 14th Amendment. The Insurrection Clause of the amendment prohibits those who have "engaged in insurrection" against the United States from holding a civil, military, or elected office without unless a two-thirds majority of the House and Senate approve.

But Trump's lawyers are arguing that the specific language of the Constitution argues that this requirement only applies to people in offices who are bound to "support" the Constitution — and the presidency is not one of those offices.


This is totally bizarre! If the President of the United States isn't required to support the Constitution - then who is? What do you think?
That has got to be the stupidest defense strategy I have ever heard.

I think he needs better lawyers, the only argument that needs be made in that case is "standing", the commies don't have it.
