Colorado Will Not Be Allowed To Deny Trump Access To Their Presidential Ballot

[SgtSpiderMan]

I agree. Obama would win easily. I’m sure many other Democrats would as well but the party leadership has doubled down on an octogenarian incumbent with historically low approval ratings.

That’s because of The Constitution which you’re saying no longer applies.

That’s because of The Constitution which you’re saying no longer applies.

Yes, Obama is ineligible to run but there’s nothing in the Constitution prohibiting Democrats from fielding other candidates. Party leadership is doing everything it can to discourage an alternative to the unpopular octogenarian.

But how would GW fare? How about Clinton?

Let's discuss what matters! ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

Biden is not unpopular. The right is desperate to have the Democrats run ANYBODY but Biden.

Voters should decide, right?
Obama has never been convicted in court of serving two terms, so why is he ineligible and you think Trump is eligible?

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Biden is not unpopular. The right is desperate to have the Democrats run ANYBODY but Biden.

His disapproval rating is 56% in the RCP average. A couple of recent polls show solid majorities of Democrats would like a new Democratic candidate to challenge Biden.

He only needs to be more popular than Trump and he crushed Trump in the last election.

The 22nd amendment says Obama is ineligible.

Yes! No trial is necessary the insurrection clause is a direct result of the American Civil War and there are cases of Confederate politicians and military officers being banned from running for political office from May 1865 onward. President Jefferson Davis, never had a trial and was banded from running for office. Confederates Kenneth Worthy nor Couy Griffin were accused of engaging in violence, yet both were ruled to be disqualified because they knowingly and voluntarily aided insurrections and banned from running office they were never tired. There are dozens of other Confederates banded from running for office none were ever tired.

There is a remedy for Trump he merely has to convince 2/3s of Congress to let him run, that is in the Constitution but following the Constitution is not his strong suit.

I’m not disputing your narrative. However this is not immediate post civil war. Where I disagree is what is the definition of insurrection. No one individual was convicted or charged with insurrection. 2) I believe section V requires a 2/3rds congressional majority to keep him off the ballot. Sec I requires due process.

Biden is not unpopular. The right is desperate to have the Democrats run ANYBODY but Biden.

I hope Biden wins the democratic nomination.

The 22nd amendment says Obama is ineligible.

But the other amendments don’t exist?

His pay Stubbs say different.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

His pay Stubbs say different.

And what court have they been used to convict him?

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

But the other amendments don’t exist?

lol. Try reading it.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

lol. Try reading it.

I have, which is why I’m asking you why you think they don’t exist.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

I have, which is why I’m asking you why you think they don’t exist.

Feel free to explain yourself if you can.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Feel free to explain yourself if you can.

I’m asking you a direct question, which you’re working very hard to avoid answering.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

I’m asking you a direct question, which you’re working very hard to avoid answering.

Of course they exist. Lol

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Of course they exist. Lol

Great so the 14th and other Amendments exist and apply.
Voters get to decide between qualified candidates.

Yes, the 14th amendment exists.

? Convicted of serving 2 terms? Do you understand the meaning of **convicted**?

The the Construction 14th Amendment states someone who participates in an insurrection against the government of the United States cannot run for office, President, VP, Senitor, Representative. The Constitution doesn't say the person must be convicted of insurrection they merely played some role in an insurrection. If they say "Stop the steal" and a group inspired by that phase riot to stop the steal that's enough.


Section 5
The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Section 3
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, 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. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The last line gives Trump recourse, "But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

So he hasn’t been convicted in court and by your definition should be eligible to be on the ballot in 2024.

That vote took place during the sham impeachment.

In the end all of that is meaningless except to the progressives who are doing everything they can to destroy the country and impose socialism through fear and intimidation.
