14th Amendment

[RustyWheels]

Anyone hearing/seeing anything the possibility of using the 14th Amendment to prevent Trump from taking office ?

I know the Supreme Court ruled states couldn't keep him off the ballot, but what about preventing him from taking office, using Jack Smith's upcoming report on the January 6th insurrection case ?

1. Don't hold your breath

Who is going to enforce it, assuming it applies in this situation.

2. Glenn Kirshner suggested it on a recent podcast of Justice Matters.

He said that the SC ruling that Trump had to be allowed on the ballot did not say that he had to be allowed to serve if elected. Therefore, he said that Trump could be denied a swearing in.

Kirschner was grasping at fantasy straws. Who would make and enforce the decision to deny Trump an inauguration? The constitution does not give the president or anyone else that power. The SC would intervene. MAGAs would go to war over such a decision.

Ain't gonna happen.

3. Who do you suppose would prevent him from taking office?

4. Couldn't That Someone Be Biden?.....

Couldn't he be doing it under the immunity decision of SCOTUS.

Protecting the United States and preventing a treasonous criminal to destroy democracy.

Just asking!!!

5. Biden's term ends on 1/20. What would you have him do? Barricade himself in the bedroom?
