The Constitution says you cannot elect certain people to office. For example it expressly states that the president cannot be foreign born. It is perfectly appropriate to bar communists from office as well, as their only purpose can be to subvert the government from within.

My response is not emotional but logical. How can a communist even take the oath of office? If they take it they are lying because being communists they do not support the constitution, or property rights or anything the country was founded on. If they don't take it, then legally they could be removed from office because the oath is supposed to make sure our elected officials remain loyal to the Constitution.

Sometimes people get confused and think freedom means anything goes. That is not true in the case of a free government. You cannot elect people to office who are philosphically opposed to our type of government. That they will try to change it to their political philosophy is a given. That is subversion.

Chances are extremely remote that a Green will ever be elected to an important national office, let alone presidency. A Communist party member has virtually no chance.

More frightening are Democrats or Republicans with hidden agendas.
