After His Second Acquittal The Democrats Push Plan To Ban Trump From Running For Office Again – This Can Be Done With A Simple Majority Vote
USA Supreme ^ | 02.14.2021 | Bruce Hoenshell

Posted on 02/14/2021 8:50:09 AM PST by USA Conservative

McConnell and the GOP elites (GOPe) worked against President Trump for years preventing him from passing his wildly popular agenda to protect America, its workers, and its citizens.

McConnell did not hold back as he ripped Trump apart for a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and attempting to “overturn the election.”

He claimed that the protesters stormed the Capitol because they had been “fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth,” and that Trump was “practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.”

And then Mitch McConnell suggested that President Trump can still be charged in the criminal justice system!

The Dems who also try to prevent President Trump from running again in 2024 came with another plan that would only need a simple majority to succeed.

I not going to try to reason a person out of an idea the person didn’t reason themselves into in the first place. That was obvious when your immediate reaction was a personal attack.

Just listen to Trump, you shouldn’t have a problem with that.

How can the Congress, who are supposed to represent us, tell us who and who we can’t elect to office?

This is truly the work of a dictatorship.

It’s not that they’re afraid of him. It’s also not that they actually feel he was ruining the country. Here’s the real truth: all of those trade deals he removed the US from, all of that “foreign aid” he either abolished or lowered, all of those regulations he cancelled, were moves that took piles of money in kick backs out of the pockets of career politicians. Politicians aren’t multi millionaires from their meager salaries. He was messing with their nut. Ruining decades of deals that made them rich. That’s why he’s a threat. Nothing more.

Fourteenth Amendment

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Common knowledge but for those who missed it; The democrats and the establishment RINOS possess the football and the rule book. Demonstrably to those folks, the US Constitution means nothing and the American people can kiss their asses. They’ve ordered the US Military to protect them thus sustaining their illegitimacy. Ain’t this grand.

Dershowitz says the order can’t be enforced and is unconstitutional. If Trump wants to run he can run.

This would have to be the path they think will happen. I don’t agree with it, just the only way think they will “get there”.

1. Find a VERY friendly US Attorney in Washington DC to charge Trump criminally.
2. Seat the most one-sided, crooked jury imaginable.
3. Use an Emmit Sullivan type judge to conduct a crooked trial.
4. Get a conviction for Inciting Insurrection.

5. The House would then go back and re-file the Impeachment Charges.
6. The Senate would vote 57 or so votes to convict.
7. The Democrats would CLAIM that only a simple majority is needed.

Doing all of that, the Constitution CLEARLY states that the prohibition clause requires a 2/3 vote.

In short, they are deranged. They cannot vote him ineligible with a 51-49 vote.

They are just stoking the hatred of the country against them

No, they cannot. One it is a bill of attainder. And two, they “tried” and failed to convict him of leading an insurrection.
They cannot not find facts with a simple majority. And Three, if they try, they need to stay in the green zone and not venture out much IMO.

I actually listen to what Trump says rather than put my own wishes into his words.

Good!

I thought you were going someplace else with your post.

Disgusting, anti-democratic authoritarians. We need to remember how eagerly our elected representatives in the Congress have embraced full-fledge authoritarianism, Stalinist style show trials, and laughable “insurrection” accusations (that cannot be taken seriously with a straight face by anyone rational and fair) in order to tell the American people who they are permitted to vote for. The contempt these cretins have for regular Americans must be through the roof.

to deny the voters a US Constitutional Right to vote for a chosen candidate.

This, is why I am against Term Limits.
