Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: The Constitution bars Trump from holding public office ever again The Constitution bars Trump from holding public office ever again Opinion by Donald K. Sherman, opinion contributor 17 August 2023 The Constitution bars Trump from holding public office ever again While some on the right portray accountability for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as just another partisan dispute, two prominent conservative legal scholars have made the case that the Constitution disqualifies former President Trump from public office. Last week, law professors William Baude of the University of Chicago and Michael Stokes Paulsen of the University of St. Thomas both members of the conservative Federalist Society argued in a law review article that Trump is already constitutionally forbidden from serving in public office because of Section Three of the 14th Amendment. This section, also known as the Disqualification Clause, bars from office any government officer who takes an oath to defend the Constitution and then engages in or aids an insurrection against the United States. Only a two-thirds majority of both houses of Congress can act to remove such disability. It should not come as a surprise that Trump meets this standard. All three branches of the government have identified the attack on the Capitol as an insurrection, with multiple federal judges, bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate, as well as the bipartisan Jan. 6 House select committee, citing Trump as its central cause. As Baude and Paulsen note, Section Three requires no prior criminal-law conviction, for treason or any other defined crime, as a prerequisite for its disqualification to apply. Trumps indictment by special counsel Jack Smith for election-related crimes only further bolsters the case for his constitutional disqualification. Poster Comment: The Constitution is suspended since George W. Bush declared a State of Emergency after the events of 9-11-2001 and issued Executive Orders to implement the War on Terror and establish the Department of Homeland Security.

ooooooooofffff You had better of made 3 cents off this article. Trump didnt put razor wire around the capitol. He didnt ask for machine guns turrets. I mean theirs over the top and then theirs this shit. It makes the operation warp speed look compassionate. UGH.. I despise them all , and, and, and I know failure to follow rule when I see it and I see the government as cheating bastards , oh wow, what a big shocking surprise, said nobody with a nano particle of common sense. Things are fucked and we are doomed but why? one, the great depopulation is about to activate and two the great solar catacylsim will flip in about the early 2040s by the best guesses
I think I might have heard something about this, but maybe you can explain more so I am sure to be on the right track. ;)
