The statute is clear. But we are dealing with Clintons. Who will hold them accountable and declare her ineligible for office? The fifty states’ SOS? No way. Enjoy your head-banging.
“The statute is clear. But we are dealing with Clintons. Who will hold them accountable and declare her ineligible for office? The fifty states’ SOS?”
Of course not.
This is something that has to be fought in the court of public opinion. The only way that’s going to happen, is if Trump begins citing this statute at every opportunity. He has to raise such a stink, that the public begins debating it, just like we’re doing now.
Trump already said in the last debate, that she shouldn’t be running, but should be in jail. This statute from the U.S. Code backs his contention up 100%.
All he needs to do, is bring it up every chance he gets, and Clinton will be forced to go on defense. No matter what lawyerspeak she uses to wriggle free, she’s going to look guilty in the eyes of the public.
Trump’s job, from now until election day, is to tell the people that she’s a felon, and an illegitimate candidate for the office.
