In the same vein, we should be able to disqualify members of Congress who also participated Integrieren fundraisers and joined in the J6 choir--people like MTG, Matt Getz, and others.

Thank you, the US will regret it if they don’t, by then it will be too late. This should be done as quickly as possible.

Thank you, Dean.

I’ve been saying much of this over the last few weeks, as discussion of Sec. 3 of the 14A has moved into the discourse.

Consider just these three acts alone as disqualification: his deliberate and deadly inaction for several hours on Jan. 6; his video that day wherein he states, “We love you very much”; and, as you’ve cited, his repeated promises to pardon the Jan. 6 seditionists. Beyond whether or not he engaged in insurrection on Jan. 6, he has provided “aid or comfort”, and continues to do so.

A plain reading of the section disqualifies him. In fact, he has disqualified himself.

We citizens must participate and make certain that tfg and his fellow traitors are not allowed to be employed in or by any US governmental agency via election, appointment, or contract. I believe we should also apply this law to every one of the 147 Republicans who failed to support the outcome of the 2020 election as 66 legal challenges provided both legal proof and legal verdicts that the election was fair, binding and legitimate. By voting against a fair and legal election didn’t they provide aid and support to a traitor.

My husband and I will be sending our objection to our Secretary of State re: TFFG (the former f’in guy)

Thank you for this invaluable resource and information. But I am wondering and would so appreciate you and other legal voices to help with this question:

What is your opinion about citing this constitutional amendment/law to our Secretary of State regarding our horrible state representative who voted against the electoral count and is up for reelection in 2024?

(Couldn’t this also apply to others like Senators, State Senate,House, County,County, and Town offices where/if candidates marched on the Capitol or sent monies to defend insurrectionists?). After all, The Constitution is The Constitution, isn’t it?

I’m done with traitors, White Nationalists, SCOTUS sanctioned US militia and terrorists, etc etc etc.

The time has come for us to truly unite and take back our power!!!

How do we become visible and apparent without fear of doxing, threats to our lives and families and law enforcement not protecting US!!!

Just wondering. Thank you.

I agree 100%. My Senator, Ron Johnson (RoJo to Sconnies) is a traitor. He tried to pass fake elector materials to Pence. He should be in prison, not the Senate.

His parole has been violated. If we are a country of laws – why is he not incarcerated!

It's surprising that the these J6 traitors still believe drumfp even after seeing the prison sentences that their fellow insurctionist got and drumfp couldn't, wouldn't even pay for for their trial expenses, do anything. More pathetic, and in a way sad/moronic for them, thing's that they are NOTHING, NOBODY to traitortot; they're just means/tools for his freedom via presidency. We won't be able to "we told you morons so" as we the people will be dealing with a lot of real Americans getting jailed by P drumfp.

Even this talk of using 14thA against drumfp is probably supported & Federalist society and in turn the oligarchs here and abroad.

We/I take solace in seeing how the repugnant gap and billionaires used 👌🙄 drumfp and now are trying so hard to get rid of him and him scared. This would've been a comic show if our democracy was not at stake.

You are absolutely 100% correct that Trump needs to be barred from holding any public office again. The one problem is there are several million Americans who believe anything out of that idiot's mouth, but hopefully, that number is shrinking daily.

And he also has support in Republican states with their attorney generals, so getting a referendum on this is going to be difficult. But do we need it to be unanimous? I don't think so.

However, I intend to contact my Attorney General here in Michigan and make my own complaint that under this statute there's no legal way that Trump can be placed on the ballot in 2024.

A friend of mine received this reply from the office of SecState of Minnesota. This ballot thing is gonna be an uphill battle.

Dear Constituent:

The Minnesota Office of Secretary of State does not have legal authority to investigate a candidate's eligibility for office. In the case of presidential and vice-presidential candidates, the political parties will submit names of candidates to our office - both for the presidential primary election in March and later, once they select nominees, for the general election in November. Those submissions will appear on the ballot unless a court says otherwise.

Minnesota law provides a separate legal process, found at Minn. Stat. 204B.44, which allows one or more people to challenge in court the eligibility of a candidate to appear on a ballot. We will continue to honor the outcome of that process, as we have in the past.

Office of Minnesota Secretary of State, Steve Simon

It was always going to end up in the courts. Either by a Secty of state barring Trump or people bringing lawsuits

What a shatshow, I'm a naturlized American, and love both my countries but can't help but think that how America, the freedom loving, touting, & spreading superpower is experiencing a historic, never before for democracy's existential battle due to one traitor and traitor party. Can't wrap my mind around their love for russia, yet understanding that it was/is for "a few (million)", and unchecked, unquestioned limitless power forever.🙄😱😰

It’s actually worse now because he’s promising to pardon them if he gets elected. Isn’t that a form of fraud in the inducement or bribery for votes?

After writing to Marc Warner in WV, this was the response I got back:

“For candidates seeking election to federal office, convictions of insurrection or treason are disqualifying factors. Here, however, no judicial determination has been made that would allow the Secretary of State to exercise his authority and refuse candidacy.”
