“The Court holds that it is unpersuaded that the drafters intended to include the highest office in the Country in the catchall phrase ‘office . . . under the United States.’”
Wouldn’t EVERYONE be included in “under the United States” then?
Faith in the courts restored jus a little bit.
The Presidency has NEVER been considered an office UNDER the United States. That is why the plaintiffs attorney and supposed 14th Amendment expert kept diverting and referring to “office OF the United States” which is not the verbiage used in Section 3. I am glad the judge caught that.
