  • He’s not a natural born citizen. so

    1. Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 lists the requirements

    2. Neither side of the uniparty would nominate him.

    Before anyone else tries the “self executing” nonsense about the 14th:

    From Wikiedia:

    Section 3 does not specify how it is to be invoked, but Section 5 says Congress has enforcement power. Accordingly, Congress enforced Section 3 by enacting Sections 14 and 15 of the Enforcement Act of 1870, the pertinent portion of which was repealed in 1948; there is still a current federal statute (18 U.S.C. § 2383) that was initially part of the Confiscation Act of 1862 (and revised in 1948), disqualifying insurrectionists from federal office.[194] Moreover, each house of Congress can expel or exclude members for insurrection or other reasons, although it is uncertain whether more votes may be required to expel than to exclude.[195][196][197] A further way that Congress can enforce Section 3 is via impeachment, and even prior to the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment Congress impeached and disqualified federal judge West Humphreys for insurrection.[198]



  • The 14th Amendment Section 3 is self executing

    Please list all other “self executing” clauses.

    Then explain how this one is unique.

    Edit: From Wikipedia (yes, I know),

    Section 3 in NOT self executing, it is up to Congress. Trump was impeached and not convicted. Full stop. The judges that voted for this should themselves be impeached.




  • Where is the due process in a court “deciding” someone is guilty of something?

    Down votes for asking a question. I guess some folks are uncomfortable with the question.

    If you can be found guilty of something without a trial, you no longer live in a democracy regardless of what you prefer to pretend.

    Edit from elsewhere in the thread for the down voters
