Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said on Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Donald Trump was disqualified from holding office because a majority of senators voted to convict the former president on an impeachment charge of inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Raskin said, “We’ve been saying all along that section 3 of the 14th Amendment presents a clear and unequivocal statement that anyone who has sworn an oath of office, and not just a president but members of Congress and others who hold federal office, who engage in insurrection or rebellion, having sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic, could never serve again in federal or state officve. This is added after the Civil War as a general constitutional principle. We have to abide by it.”

Well, this is good to know that the House controlled by the republicans can simply vote that Biden, and ANY democrap who runs, committed insurrection and cannot run. /s
This is the predictive programming propaganda for the red diaper babies to promote.
This was the plan all along.

According to the US Constitution it takes a 2/3rds of the US Senate, which in this modern age is 67 votes, to remove a president.
Sorry Raskin, there were not 67 votes.
Hey Raskin, go F yourself..repeatedly..what the communist left wants is a one party rule..this is ALL about one simple fact..Donald Trump can beat Joe Biden’s disgusting ass and they know it..so knowing this, they want to stop Trump all costs, so they figure that jail might not be happening even with everything they are doing so they are going to try the 14th Amendment..they want to make sure that elections NEVER happen again, that only they have power
Good luck with that. Trump wins and they all crawl back in there holes.
Not if - when.
Repreobate.
“Biden will have a no show base”
The Democrats have weeks to get out their vote, and will.
Ratskin strikes again, with his ludicrous unfounded statements. He knows nothing, yet plunges on full speed ahead disseminating baloney.
I voted he is a a hole. Has as much weight as his lies.
I smell fear
“… The Democrats have weeks to get out their vote, and will..”
Don’t you mean ballots? Of those they got plenty, hot off the presses.
A simple majority is insufficient for a conviction. THE SENATE failed to convict. End of story.
This Raskin puke doesn't know what he's talking about.
“Raskin: Trump Disqualified from Holding Office Because Senate Majority Voted He Incited Insurrectio
Asskissin utters complete nonsense again ... of course he does that every time he opens his mouth.
Raskin is actually talking about half of the Democrat politicians in Congress who have violated the 14th. Pelosi and Waters come to mind immediately.
Seems like Raskin has found another name for Bill of Attainder.
I’m glad I am not the only one wondering ...
Senate Acquits Trump In Impeachment Trial — Again
The U.S. Senate on Saturday acquitted former President Donald Trump on an impeachment charge of inciting an insurrection.
The acquittal comes more than a month after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol as lawmakers were counting the electoral results that certified Trump’s loss. Five people died in the riot, including a police officer. Two other officers later killed themselves.
A majority of senators voted to convict Trump — 57 to 43, including seven Republicans. But two-thirds, or 67 votes, was needed to convict. It was the second time Trump was acquitted in an impeachment trial.

So let me get this straight. Donald Trump asserting there was fraud in the 2020 election is “rebellion”. However “the Resistance” movement that simply did not like the results of the 2016 election is not?
