Democrats Seeking To Use 14th Amendment To Bar Trump From Office
A new report indicates congressional Democrats are seeking to invoke an obscure section of the 14th Amendment to bar Donald Trump from ever holding office again.
An analysis by The Hill demonstrates that roughly a dozen Democrat lawmakers have openly or privately speculated about invoking the section to ban Trump from running for elected office.
In other words, they want to stop Trump 2024 before it even happens.
The Hill report specifically names three House Democrats – Representatives Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Jerry Nadler (D-NY), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) – as having discussed the possibility with l*****t Harvard lawyer Laurence Tribe.
“I hear it being raised with considerable frequency these days both by media commentators and by members of Congress and their staffs, some of whom have sought my advice on how to implement Section 3,” Tribe told the outlet.
Barring Trump From Office
The Political Insider reported back in February that Congressional Democrats were considering utilizing the 14th Amendment to bar Trump from office.
The idea first surfaced as a result of Democrats fearing their second impeachment of the former President would not lead to conviction.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is a rarely cited Civil War-era provision that bars people from holding office if they “have engaged in i**********n or r*******n” or “given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
From there, it’s easy to tie what Democrats are attempting to do with the J****** 6 C*******e and their insistence that the Capitol r**t was an “i**********n” plotted by Trump.
Have the media continually refer to the Capitol r**t as an “i**********n” even as nobody has been charged with such a crime.
Conduct an investigation through the select committee to link Trump in some small manner to said “i**********n.”
Invoke a little-known provision involving Civil War terminology for an “i**********n.”
Democrats Abusing Power
Jamie Raskin pursuing an effort to ban Donald Trump using the 14th Amendment through a legally weak argument of inciting an i**********n is rich.
Raskin objected to the certification of Florida’s e*******l v**es in 2017. In fact, House Democrats tried objecting to the certification of e*******l v**es for Donald Trump that year 11 times.
It’s only an “attack on Democracy” if the other guy does it.
Such arguments against the legitimacy of the 2016 e******n led to marches, sometimes violent, in Washington, D.C. that year.
You can watch the resulting violence below …
Raskin discussed using the 14th Amendment shortly after Trump was acquitted by the Senate.
“The point is that the constitutional purpose is clear, to keep people exactly like Donald Trump and other t*****rs to the union from holding public office,” he said.
Some legal scholars have claimed Democrats could get the ball rolling on this plan by v****g on a censure resolution to declare Trump engaged in “i**********n.”
Bitter and obsessed Democrats could conceivably coalesce behind such a censure resolution and they wouldn’t need any help from the Republicans.
A resolution to censure Trump would require a simple majority v**e to pass in the House and Senate.
The Hill though, reports that some legal experts such as Tribe believe they have to go further by “by establishing a neutral fact-finding body to determine whether Trump engaged in i**********n under Section 3, or assigning that fact-finding role to a federal court.”
Again, part of the carefully calculated political game.
Democrats rejected pro-Trump Republicans from being included on the select committee investigating the Capitol r**t. Instead, they placed committed ‘Never Trump’ Republicans Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) on the panel.
They then promoted Cheney to co-chair in an attempt to portray the group as a ‘neutral fact-finding body.’
Trump has repeatedly hinted about another run in 2024, but has yet to officially declare.

Loc: The middle of somewhere else.
That certainly explains a lot of what the Democrats may planning and acting on. The democrats and some Republicans will destroy anyone that dares to try to block their socialist new world order agenda.

What part of the constitution and law, and the legality of following laws don't you understand?
This law has been rarely used because no president has tried to maintain power in the face of an e******n loss.
Multiple actions were taken by trump and his administration, including firing people who would not follow his orders, and replacing them with stooges that would. Everything they attempted was based on the lie that there had been unproven fraud.

You seem to have missed previous discussions on how it is to get away with calling your political enemies T*****rs and making a legal case for it.
