Yes…the 14th Amendment Section 3 allows no discussion; it’s crystal clear.
I agree. Once we start disregarding the constitution we’ve lost as a country
In government we need the highest state of morality-Nelson Mandela The great theologian Augustine said that government is a necessary evil, that it is necessary because of evil.
@@king13604 Trump could learn a lot from Mandela. But back to your statement, different continent, different political structure. Africa is a continent made up of 54 countries, with each country different from the other in terms of political, social and economic structures. Mandela was against apartheid in South Africa and because of his actions against apartheid he went to prison. He was never President before he went to prison. Mandela is a good man. He was the country’s first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid by tackling institutionalized racism and fostering racial reconciliation.
Republican or democrat there’s nothing morally righteous about dead soldiers and that all our government has been able to produce for a long time people want change and are tired of being lied to by people who swear to protect us
Common sense only obvious he shud be dsqualified. Why do u still ask this issue
Great Video, bring on the disqualification, thanks for sharing

You are an embarrassment to America 😂
If people don't want to vote for him that's fine, to be barred from being able to run is the epitome of UN-AMERICAN and is a mockery to the American people
Lock Trump UP ALREADY
Lock him up
How is he NOT; any questions?
- The spirit of the constitution.
We need to get this ego-driven liar and traitor of the American people out of the news and behind bars
No
*Email your Secretary of State. Ask them to disqualify Trump under section 3 of the 14th.*
I will definitely do that! Thank you.
Here is what you should put in your email….
In light of the conviction of Proud Boys leaders for seditious conspiracy, a robust argument emerges for applying the 14th Amendment to potentially disqualify Trump from subsequent presidential candidacies. Their conviction rests on the premise that they conspired to use force against or to oppose the authority of the U.S. government, with their defense highlighting Trump’s alleged encouragement as a central motivating factor.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment reads:
“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.”
Given his past role as a federal official, Trump vowed to defend the Constitution. The defense presented during the Proud Boys’ trial insinuates that their seditious conspiracy was influenced or spurred by Trump’s remarks and actions, suggesting he may have played a part in providing “aid or comfort” to those conspiring against the U.S. government. Trump’s public comments, like advising the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by,” further reinforce this perspective.
The added dimension of Trump’s implied willingness to pardon these convicted individuals if he were re-elected intensifies the argument that he offered “aid or comfort” to those conspiring seditiously.
In consideration of the recent seditious conspiracy convictions, and the associated defenses implicating Trump’s influence and encouragement, there exists a substantial argument for invoking the 14th Amendment to preclude Trump from pursuing future federal office.
14th amendment doesn't apply until after conviction. A group doesn't just get to say it and disqualify him.
@@JustStickAThumbInIt he does not have to be convicted, only has to take part in an insurrection. Everyone with two brain cells knows that he did. That will be proven but because of the two tier justice system he probably won’t be convicted, though he should.
NO! plain and simple!

President Trump should WIN HANDS DOWN !! If not, we can kiss our FREEDOM GOODBYE 😢.
If you are 34 years old , you are not allowed to be a candidate , the law is the law , the Trump also should not be allowed to be a candidate and this should decide by a judge who can view exactly what he done on 6/1/2021 , it quiet obvious from seeing the news on the day , even if he has not been convicted yet .
Except he didn't do anything on Jan 6th.
Jan 6th was a protest turned riot via government agent provocateurs. It was a setup from the beginning.
Its called the 14th ammendment!
Isn't it awesome to have a convict as a press sounds Fabulous to the world! Not
...and now the short answer: no
Lol you're wrong 😂
Self executing , no charges or convictions. 2/3 Congress wont happen.
UK his defence attorneys could wriggle around the word indictment but rebellion is a shoe in because he ordered Pence to not follow procedure and that is well documented
Fabricated charges ... Indictment means nothing
@@razorburns8651
Don’t try! Please😂
You got to remember he has not been charged with either one of those and he has not been convicted of either one of those just like the judge here in Florida just like the supreme Court is going to straighten it all out unless he's convicted of the crime there's nothing you can do to get him off balance so stick that in your pipe Democrats the smoke on that
That's not true. Maga is so funny you guys chime in even when you have no clue what you're talking about. Well done cult simp😂😂😂
We want him to run again. He lost last time and will lose again. Do you think anyone likes him better now? ahahahah
@@tonygrowley5275 of course he needs to run to straighten this mess out that the Democrats are made of this country and mine is made of the presidential office the course there's always going to be a bunch of dummies that's going to vote for Joe don't forget you'll have the same thing you have now cities overflowing with illegals isis sneaking in across the border crime rates going up kids dying from fentanyl overdose and your own government asking you to let they live with you
Does an Oath of Office "expire" at the end of their term (only apply to insurrectionary acts while in office)?
Only while they are in office they are completely immune to prosecution
You need a trial and conviction to exclude Trump
EXAMPLE
On Aug. 3, 1807, in Richmond, Va., Chief Justice John Marshall opened the trial of former vice president Aaron Burr. The charge: treason against the United States. Burr was accused of plotting an armed insurrection against the government.
Good question. The Proud Boys got jail terms for Seditious Conspiracy. That’s one law that can apply to anyone who breaks the law this way.
Elected officials have a duty and responsibility with different terms that apply based on their being Public Servants.
Various convictions can prevent the convict from voting in the future - preventing their future participation in our Democracy.
Other convictions trigger different outcomes for Public Servants. These convicts are prevented also from holding elected office in the future- this prevents them from participating in our democracy as future elected public servants.
That’s my understanding of it. I’ll defer to anybody with legal expertise.
@@albertmiller3082 Pretty sure they got a trial
Until you get a conviction you can't deprive someone of their rights
Read the 6th
Considering the oath specifies while acting as President it sure sounds like it expires
You still need a trial
Read the 6th
'COULD'?. He 'SHOULD' be barred. Otherwise the position of POtTUS is a JOKE and meaningless.
So, you all want to bar someone who has not had their day in court. Boy, should we decide now what statues we will remove after the next Civil War now?

The south already tried that once 😂 . The inbreds didn't even last as long as Obama's Presidency
Yes he is these people are trying to make sure to distroy him ..not fair

No and he won't.
Haha yeah right it's actually pretty likely if you're paying attention

No legally he cannot be bard
True, he has no poetry skills

Yes he can 😂
@@justrelax9501 no he cannot federal judge has already ruled on that he cannot be barred unless he is convicted but he hasn't even been charged he can have a felony against him and still become president of the United States he could be in jail and still become president of the United States
@@donfrancway4171 not true. Read article 14 it has nothing to do with a conviction. Yes he can run from jail but that's not relevant to the discussion. A federal judge can't overrule the constitution. Article 14 is voted on and has nothing to do with convictions. Of you don't know why would you answer like you do?
_"Could Trump be legally barred from running for president?"_
*Yes.*
Next question?
Not yet, not until after conviction. It's called due process.
@@Razmatazz522 Yes, but rules should be updated to reflect the times of the present.
@@Razmatazz522 that's the problem, that's how tyranny starts.
@@minimaxmiaandme.4971 so you want the rules changed to fit your agenda. How's that going to work out for you if a group with a different agenda than you comes into power.
It requires a trial and conviction
Here is an example

After a trial and conviction

Other legal scholars say there is no way the 14 th A will be interpreted that way. To say that Republicans agree means nothing. We all know that there are many RINOs that are against Trump and Vivek. It’s a new paradigm that people are recognizing which consists the corrupt establishment of virtually all Dem and some Reps - and the few that are against the globalist , Anti- American, anti - God establishment. establishment

Resolution Concerning the Application of the 14th Amendment, Section 3 in the Light of Recent Seditious Conspiracy Convictions
Whereas, the 14th Amendment, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution stipulates that no person who has sworn an oath to support the Constitution, but subsequently engaged in insurrection or rebellion against it, or given aid or comfort to its enemies, shall hold any office under the United States;
Whereas, Proud Boys leaders have been convicted of seditious conspiracy, a crime intrinsically linked to the notions of insurrection and rebellion;
Whereas, during their defense, these leaders cited encouragement from the former President as a significant motivating factor for their actions;
Whereas, a past federal official, including the former President, has sworn an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution;
Whereas, public statements such as “stand back and stand by” have been made, which can be construed as an endorsement or encouragement of potentially insurrectionist actions;
Whereas, further implications arise from the suggestion of potentially pardoning those convicted of such serious offenses;
Therefore, based on the above considerations and the mounting evidence linking encouragement to acts of seditious conspiracy, there exists a compelling argument for invoking the 14th Amendment, Section 3 to disqualify the former President from holding future federal office.
their was no insurrection
Key phrase CONVICTION
Without it you can't exclude him
@@silentmajority8365 I have been trying to point that out but most of these folks think they can exclude him through a committee or the individual states have the authority. It would set a dangerous precedent if this is allowed.
Also when he saw what was happening , he took about 3 hours to do anything after all the damage was done , the word'' rebellion '' is also in the rules beside the word '' insurrection ''
a judge could decide with evidence presented if he is able to be a candidate even if he has not been convicted as the rules do not state has to be convicted , the rules only use the words '' engaged in ''
@@philipmullins5185 their was no insurrection at all and nancy piglosi threatened a sitting president with violence
Jail jail jail this is where Trump should be
I hope so 🙏🏽✝️👍
Why be on the ballot if you can not win?
Perhaps clearer standards or criteria should be added to Section 3 of the 14th amendment by Congress after the states agree to the amendment change.
It’s pretty sad when officials have to change something in order for a person to be convicted!!! That is wrong on all levels!!
Again no one has standing in the federal court
Yes he did engaging insurrection and I'm tired of people bending the truth. This case is well-established against Federal level politicians in the United States government
I agree , some of his exact words are: "if you don't fight like hell", fueled by baseless conspiracy lies about a stolen election.Just look at all of the insurrectionists who have gone to prison, it's only fair that the person who incited this bear some responsibility for it.
So funny you think he is worst than Biden...
@@brandymatthews204 I'm a conservative, my values align with the Republican party however I'm disillusioned with the GOP And it's refusal to cut ties with trump. I am equally repulsed with Biden and trump.
It's crazy that as terrible as Biden is Trump is even worse 😂@@brandymatthews204
Lairs !!! Trump wasn't nothing wrong !! What happend with all Snowflakes???
He was just fou d guilty

so they could do that to any president they dont like lol
No stupid

Anybody with common sense would not vote for biden.
Im going to run for president at 35 cuase I'm tired of being an average tax paying citizen
Absolutely yes
Trump 2024 for sure win.
Y’all scared of Trump running. Cause he’s gonna win.
Married your cousin I see…
Not only can he, but its becoming more and more likely by the day
This is all we got. Damn we screwed. 😂😂😂
Yeah Trump is screwed
Engaged in insurrection does not mean you have to be charged for it. Charging him is not required
He has to be convicted. Good thing this isn't up to you....a whole lot of people would be losing rights and freedoms without due process.
@@JustStickAThumbInIt it doesnt explicitly and by word says he has to be convicted on the constitution. If it requires conviction, they should have stated that on the amendment.
lol!! what insurrection ? their was NO INSURRECTION
@@NonyaBusiness-is3fc how else can it be determined whether or not he participated in insurrection if not proven in court. Do you have any idea how dangerous it would be for a committee to make these decisions....for all of us. It would set a very dangerous precedent.
@@frankcarone6 That's what Enrique Tarrio said.
Yeah let that happen .. then see what follows...
The real question shouldn’t be whether he can run again or not, (I hope not) it should be how in the world could he possibly win if he can run. For him to even have a chance of winning is insane. His supporters are the problem with this country.
Your problem with this country is we have due process. You don't get to penalize people just because you think they should be. Losing due process would affect us all, including you.
The people running against him, support him and would vote for him if he was locked up. It’s insane.
@@JustStickAThumbInIt I’m no lawyer but if he’s guilty of inciting an insurrection he shouldn’t be allowed to run. Are you okay with him destroying America’s democracy if he is elected?
Your right, he is a threat to the world, not just the US.
@@JustStickAThumbInIt Yeah but does due process have to be so long and involved. The US has always been over the top with laws and lawyers.....can't it be simplified...
On Jan. 6 Trump told them to 'Fight like Hell' and sent them to the capitol, ate cheeseburgers for 3 hrs. and then told the insurrectionists he loves them. I call that aiding and comforting.
And now we have an illegally installed compromised traitor as a President that threatened America's who doesn't support him with F-15S and nuclear weapons. A President that invites a dude in a dress to the White House and honors him as the woman of the year. A man that can't even remember who family members are and wears a diaper. Absolutely compromised and being controlled due to the Biden crime families decades of selling America out. The President of the dependant, weak, mentally ill, pregnant men and people who believe you can change your sex with some pixy dust. You want him you can have him.
You have to fight like hell to keep the county . And please don't forget the ever damming statment . "Any means necessary " That makes him the inciter of the insurrection .
It's all made up Kwika it does not matter what you fantasize...
@@YEC999 he told them they would have to fight like hell and he said any means necessary
@@jacobclark89 It took me back then 2-3h to find the trump speech unedited. (Which tells you already something). The speech is completely non-violent, and no that is -actually- out of context what you write.
Show me your source.
He's been convicted of nothing. I hope he rakes in another billion with his coming defamation lawsuits
No !
Send Trump to jail for war crimes and espionage.
He was trying to match his 45 and has successfully exceeded 90 plus charges!! He is finally a loser winning!!!
Speaking of a loser . . .
You have said that for 7 years
If you all would stop crying it would be worth Trump being convicted just to silence all the whining
@@silentmajority8365 you sound confused. It makes sense if you believe in the jackass with 90 incitements. Just like 50+ courts ruling that there was not proof of any election fraud except by Orange man!!
And not 1 will stick . Lmao
Yah him used to dealing with the mafia none will stick. 91 indictments in four separate courts proves it is a joke you may wish. He is such a stellar guy with 6 bankruptcies!
No election without Trump
Yes. He needs to be charged !
Ok. We are now in the world of 1984.
A felony he can still run for president we can elect him from jail.
Hell yeah .
That would be Biden Nancy pelosi in Chuck Schumer Adam Schiff the list goes on FBI CIA all of them don't forget Obama.
BS
They're a liars.
Lets hope
Trumps got my vote!
Not too bright huh traitor?
Trump has so much power that he actually doesn't even have to debate other Republicans to win the nomination. His next Debate will be vs a Democrat nominee lmao 🤣
Power? Over who, you? LOL 😜
Donnie has the power to flush his gold toilet 15x to get his bowl emptied. He holds no office, Roderick.
In fact, Donaldo is out on BAIL in 4 different Indictments. He also faces further fines for sexual abuse he was found guilty of performing. And there’s the porn star payoff that still isn’t completed in the Courts. Plus there’s the pesky Corporate Fraud charges against Trump & his family for 250 million dollars. All this is pending.
Being in the spotlight isn’t “power”, Roderick. Don’s pals are all going down one by one. Bannon. Navarro. Giuliani. On and on.
The Proud Fools have lost their bozo leader for 22 years to Prison. Did Donnie’s “power” have any influence in any of the 1,000+ cases already processed for the J6 Insurrectionists?
Did I miss something or did Donnie only sit back and piss & moan about himself alone? Do you remember?
Please- school us all and name a SINGLE POWER Donaldo “Bone Spurs” retains on 9/8/23? Please do. 😎
Whatever you got, Roddy, bring it. We can’t wait. 👀
It was clear from GOP debate. My biggest takeaway from that debate was who will become VP if trump wins. It was a test of loyalty and that one guy who opposed Trump failed miserably.
He should not be running. I just dont understand this wishy washy situation. Its simple reading of the constitution. Is like everyone fears him. The entire time he was in office and leaving office and after he was voted out, this behavior has continued . If the constitution says he can not run what is the problem. The circus continues.
Try reading the whole constitution instead of just Cherry picking what fits your agenda. The 4th and 5th amendments deal with such things as due process and equal protection under the law.
@@JustStickAThumbInIt How much does a person have to do in order for you to recognize he is a full brick short of a load. He is not capable of running the country, if you think he is, OMG - the US is done for.
What r u waiting for?
If they make it so that he cant run for president its time to take up arms.
Some attack. People walking around with flags five feet or more away from each other just barely moving. That's not what an attack looks like.
But he has no insurrection charges on his record ! I m sure the charlatans are desperately trying to make that stick but until then try something more pathetic !!!
He does only harm.
No it does not you're trying to make you cannot twist the law for your benefits.
I wonder...🤔
Pray 🙏 not 🙏
How can he rape women and run?
They want him soooooo bad it’s actually helping him keep it up snow flakes 😢😢🤣🤣
Yes and he should be he's a joke
Old news but the leftists keep yapping
look the ncr flag 2:29
Just vote blue.. trump said!!!👍
This news from our fiends in the CIA. Thanks guys! 🙄
If they try to barr him just write him in
We think that the republican ticket will be pence/Romney in 2024! That would be a great ticket. if Donald trump cannot be at the convention then what should happen?
It’s all in the verbiage of the 14 th amendment…He should be barred from running for president.
However,if he goes to jail that’s a different narrative.🤔🤷🏼♀️
He should be barred from running because he is already in his own words giving comfort to the ones already convicted by promising comfort in the way of promising to pardon them if he becomes president again!!!!😢
Have you heard of innocent until proven guilty Beyond Reasonable Doubt. Show your cold hard evidence.
If sect 3 of the 14th amendment isn't self-activating, can Trump still be charged with inciting, aiding, &/or participating (e.g. "setting on foot") in the Jan 6th insurrection?
He has been charged but it must be prove in a trial
That due process thing remember?

@fredfreddy8684 Where does the Constitution say The Supreme Court establishes Electoral Candidacy issues??
I agree it’s never happened before. All the more reason to be clear about what constitutes disqualification.
Courts don’t rule on every candidate ever. Courts have next to no role in elections in terms of sanctioning any one person. Just that convicted felons can’t vote.
@fredfreddy8684 Don or the GOP don’t get to decide what the terms of disqualification involve, any more than the Courts.
Every State elects a Chief Election Official. In Michigan where I live, Michigan Elections are conducted through our Secretary of State.
