If the Constitution were construed in accordance with its plain and intended meaning, there would be no question but that every member of Congress who is a self-described socialist would be ineligible to hold federal or state legislative, executive, and judicial office. Among self-avowed socialists serving in Congress are Democratic Socialists of America members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; Rashida Tlaib; Cori Bush; and Jamaal Bowman. Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar likewise describe themselves as “democratic socialists.” None is eligible to be in office under Article VI, Clause 3 of the Constitution. Moreover, legislators, executives, and jurists on the state and local level who are self-avowed socialists are likewise constitutionally ineligible to hold their offices under Article VI, Clause 3 and under Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution. In a just world, those provisions would be honored in consistent observance; the Republican Form of government would be protected, as the Founding Fathers expressly intended.
**SNIP**
When socialists or communists purport to swear or affirm their support for the Constitution they are committing perjury. They consciously support a system of government antithetical to, and one which cannot co-exist with, the Republican Form created by the Constitution; they cannot support socialism or communism and likewise support the Constitution. The swearing in ceremonies for self-avowed socialist members of Congress and state and local office holders are invalid acts of fraud, corrosive to a basic protection for that government to which the American people consented, the Republican Form.
Socialism defines a government in which all means of production, distribution, and exchange are either owned or regulated by the state. Communism defines a government in which all property (even the body of the person) is owned by the state. Socialism and communism are antithetical to, and cannot co-exist with...

Then why is Biden in the white hut?
Me too! His grandma said he was born in Mombasa until the First Wookie told her STFU.
It has created a huge problem for all major western countries whatever their constitutions have to say, I would imagine that no strict interpretation of the Canadian constitution would outlaw communists or socialists but the real problem is this — from about the milder version of socialism leftward to communism is territory that basically is no better for human freedom than Hitler or Mussolini versions of fascism, which would certainly run into legal challenges long before they gained any public opinion traction.
In other words, we have sanctified forms of government in our countries that are basically no better than Hitler or Mussolini would have provided, minus the benefits of a well-organized fascist economy and other considerations (none of which I advocate but when push comes to shove, if Hitler had not been an anti-Semitic racist and a megalomaniac, his government would have been far better than most European governments of its time, and Mussolini was basically dragged along by Hitler, so same could be said there).
Our countries will only begin to recover from the growing social and economic crises they face when a majority of voters come to understand that socialism even in its more mundane forms is against their better interests, and cannot deliver on most of its promises.
The original post lists a number of people who should not hold office, but I would widen the net to include almost all Democrats. Nancy Pelosi was not mentioned but she is basically a socialist too. Same goes for Schumer and Schiff, for my money anybody to the left of Mitt Romney should be out of office.
The constitution has been violated for a century. Men in black robes have approved many violations of our founding document.
We lost this argument when we accepted a bigger federal government without constitutional authority.
Today, there is no limit to how large the federal government can become nor how far it may encroach into our lives.
This battle is lost.
True in theory, but increasingly a nonfactor in the reality of today.
Remember that candidate for mayor of Portland Or. last year? She often wore a dress imprinted with the faces of Mao, Stalin, Marx and Lenin. All her Communist “Heroes”. She was proudly displaying her facism, not concealing it. This woman came very close to winning.
but I would widen the net to include almost all Democrats.
I would widen it to all democrats...can’t think of one who should have any power at all...from dog catcher to the sphincter with feet on high.
Plus they lied when they took the oath to uphold the Constitution.
Time to revive HUAC.
Unfortunately, by this time, HUAC, would more than likely, be just another woke deep state organization.
All members of a violent death cult which has as its goal the overthrow of the US Constitution, are ineligible for public office. That means the 8 years of bammy were illegal. Some members of the Squad are also ineligible.
This articke says what I have been thinking for years, but I am told oaths of office are not legally binding. Oaths of office are not taken under circumstances where perjury applies, namely a court of law. If an oath of office is not legally binding, then we are kidding ourselves in expecting lawful order.
If that were so, they would just re-brand themselves. It is what they do. (tagline)
I would suspect that a “mysterious” fire took out those records some time back in Mombasa.
Article VI, Clause 3 basically DQ’s the Democrat Party.
It should be legally binding, Oath is administered by a Supreme Court Justice. Oaths given before any Judge is Binding.
The problem is, its been going on since Lincoln and nobody has challenged.
Yep!
It was all over when a known foreign-born communist was gifted the WH...
Heck, Obama, is a self admitted citizen of three countries at his birth. Despite this we couldn’t even get ONE Article III court to determine on the merits as to whether or not he is an Article II, section one, clause 5 natural born citizen constitutionally eligible to be POTUS.
It looks like commies seeking public office is here to stay too.
Ditto for Commie-La!!!!
Ummm no. Sorry but those sections don’t do ANYTHING that would ban communists or socialists. The writer is stupid. Now trying to PASS socialist or communist legislation would run into problems. But nothing in the constitution bans beliefs.
