Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now
The Hill ^ | December 26, 2024 | Evan A. Davis and David M. Schulte

Posted on 12/26/2024 10:05:31 AM PST by Vendome

The Constitution provides that an oath-breaking insurrectionist is ineligible to be president. This is the plain wording of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. β€œNo person shall … hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

there is the bipartisan inquiry of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol. More than half of the witnesses whose testimony was displayed at its nine public hearings were Republicans, including members of the Trump administration. The inescapable conclusion of this evidence is that Trump engaged in insurrection against the Constitution.

Rebellion against the Constitution seems to be what the democRATs do every day.

Problem is, there was no insurrection ordered by President Trump.

They really need to come up with a new set of agreed lies, aka β€œnarrative” to feed the drones. The collapse of the MSNBC and CNN rating show that even their dim followers have noticed that those outlets have been long on promising and short on delivering on the destruction of Trump

The writers are so completely living in another universe as to be beyond all help. But I’d suggest someone fill out the form to have them picked up for psychiatric diagnosis. If only to see if maybe modern medical science has done sort of new miracle drug that might help them return to planet earth

The presiding officer over the EV count certifies nothing. Kamala Harris will have the same power Al Gore had over W, Cheney had over Obama, Biden had over Trump, and Pence had over Biden - none.

The 14th amendment - commonly known as the homosexual marriage amendment - was an ill-compounded and hastily adopted punitive measure used to grind down the South after Abraham Lincoln passed away.

It was adopted by southern states at the point of Union military bayonets. Consent obtained by coercion is not consent.

The Constitution provides that an oath-breaking insurrectionist is ineligible to be president.

When was President Trump convicted of insurrection?

BUZZZZ!!!

Thanks for playing!

The author glosses over that condition precedent like it’s an assumed fact.

Anytime leftists do that, it’s their weakest point.
