Forty-one House Democrats filed a bill on Thursday to bar former President Donald Trump from running for president in 2024, citing section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
“Donald Trump very clearly engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021 with the intention of overturning the lawful and fair results of the 2020 election. You don’t get to lead a government you tried to destroy,” Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) wrote in a press release:
Even Mitch McConnell admits that Trump bears responsibility, saying on the Senate floor that ‘[t]here’s no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.’ The 14th Amendment makes clear that based on his past behavior, Donald Trump is disqualified from ever holding federal office again and, under Section 5, Congress has the power to pass legislation to implement this prohibition.
Among those Democrats seeking to deprive Trump of 2024 eligibility 41 Democrats, including radicals Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Ted Lieu (D-CA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-M).

They are TERRIFIED of Trump. Why? They are probably afraid they’ll go to jail for insider trading, kickbacks, epstein and many other of their misdeeds.
Sleazy.
Apparently they don’t think Trump is toast after the digital trading card thing...
Thanks, Deep State, for continuing to show us who you fear! 😄
If the democrats can have a foreign born national, and a cheating brain dead as president then we can have a falsely accused candidate.

People are laughing at him.
Seems like they’re trying to pass a bill of attainder because, Trump.
We Americans need to file a bill prohibiting all registered democRATS from running for public office. Why? Because we don’t like democRATS. The same reason the Stalinist RATS don’t want Trump running for president. Screw the Feral courts. It’s our country, WE’VE GOT “STANDING”. America doesn’t belong to the “courts”.
Only 41 of them?
Another LOSS of a Freedeom, Freedom for the people to choose who they WANT to elect.
From time to time the Tree of Liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and patriots.
Same for Governors on the way out.
Why do they need a bill if the 14th Amendment disqualifies Trump for president for participating in insurrection? Is it because they are trying to get it on the record so at least a few states can claim that the fedgov has it on record and cannot legally put Trump on the ballot? Is it because the justice system isn’t going to come thru for them?
The Constitution says that PDJT meets all qualifications for POTUS, no matter what these dolts come up with.
We don’t like you and you can’t play in our sandbox.
They’re scared to death of Trump

This is why we need platforms like Twitter to stop banning the expression of political speech. Idiots like this guy need to be swarmed by reasonable people telling him just how big of a kook he is.
If Quisling McCarthy makes Speaker, he should BAN all 41 and Permanently Suspend ALL Floor Privileges indefinitely.
“They are TERRIFIED of Trump.”
Because they recognize him as their true enemy.
That attempt to herald the use the 14th amendment is just a smear tactic. It has no chance.
