Evidently, section3 of the 14th amendment doesn’t explicitly apply to US Presidents. It explicitly applies to any officers and military under the US government. I suppose legal types have to be quite specific in the basis for a ruling, if “any officers” doesn’t include the Presidency. Stepping back, it doesn’t make much sense that a President who incites an insurrection would NOT apply, but that’s how it was written back then.
I would like to see more concrete actions limiting corporate price-gouging, and not just words. Corporations aren’t going to do anything just because the president says “stop doing it”.
