- Secretaries of State and other election officials have a duty to keep Donald Trump off the ballot in 2024. Why?
It says so in the Constitution: Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

Why do you have to lie about Trump to get him removed from the ballot?
Thank you for posting a clickable link, but why is it buried here in the comments? Why not post it at the top of the video description?
@michaelrogers2080 it has already been used successfully in the past without a conviction....
@@WERC-lawyerWhen? Cite one legitimate example.
@@DaveFurybeside the post Cuvil War, happened in New Mexico more recently ... the Constitution does not stipulate a conviction requirement....
This same logic should also apply to all of his enablers in congress.
A M E N !
Absolutely!
Yes!!
Traitors should be impeached and indicted immediately!! 💯⚖️🇺🇸🌊
They will have to be charged, tried and convicted first.
This goes beyond logic, it's the constitution....
*MAKE ACCOUNTABILITY GREAT AGAIN*
YES!!! ❤
I do think a more sobering question is can Joe Biden be arrested and incarcerated for treason and other more serious crimes related to the millions he and his family received on his behalf selling out the United States to hostile foreign actors. The same should also apply to all those who enabled these crimes including IRS, FBI, DOJ officials and all Democrats who ran cover for the Biden Crime Cartel.
Excellent
Right on! Thats the slogan!
Lock him up with Rudy.😂😂😂😂😂😂
As I did tweet when I had a Twitter account I was referring to the case in New Mexico. There are also current members of Congress in the House and the Senate that should be removed from Congress and prevented from ever running for at any level. If this does not happen what is the true value of the Constitution if we allow them to get a free pass. I personally swore an oath to the Constitution and honored that in the United States Marine Corps, served in Vietnam and was honorable discharged. My life threatened, while first being exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejune and then exposed to the agent orange in Vietnam. I still have to fight for justice while dealing with illness after honoring the oath that I took to uphold and respect the Constitution. Donald Trump should not be allowed to on any ballot for office in this nation that I fought for.
Thank you for your service, unlike Captain Bone Spurs you are a true American hero
I remember Trump also taking an oath to defend the Constitution during his inauguration. Am I the only one who recalls this? Thank you for taking your oath with integrity Marine!
I AGREE 1000%. ANYONE THAT SERVED IN ANY MILITARY BRANCH TAKE THAT SAME OATH. AND NOW OUR CURRENT CONGRESS AND SENATE HAVEN'T MENTIONED THE FACT THAT THEY TOOK THE OATH. AND THE CHICKENSHIT BASTARDS LOOK THE OTHER WAY AND HOPE THEY CAN MAKE THIS GO AWAY BY DOING NOTHING AND POINTING AT OTHERS TO KEEP THE ATTENTION OFF THEM!!!! BRAVO SIR BRAVO!!!
I'm a vet too and you are 100 percent right! My brother is a Vietnam vet and served in country in 69. He said he couldn't believe what he was seeing on TV the day of the insurrection and he said it brought tears to his eyes. Trump is a snake and his followers need to grow up. Thanks for your service bro! I'm definitely voting blue in 2024!
You're service I thank you for the rest: eff off DeathKultist Kommy Mommy... America is Back and so is Capitalism.
I don't remember the names but recently 2 Conservative law professors wrote a document regarding this and also stated that the Constitution precludes him running again because of his actions while in office.
He shouldn’t be allowed to run for any office
He can run because Robert is lying. The J6 hearing proved he was innocent.
Exactly 💯!!
…not even dog catcher!
He should never have been allowed to run back in 2016!!! Ever!!! Another example of why he's often referred to as Teflon don.
@@chriso.8150I don't like him either, but why should he not have been allowed to run in 2016 exactly? That makes no sense.
The real question is, "Does anything our constitution or laws say matter if no one enforces them?"
Even our Supreme Court.
Until there is term limits, this country will continue to Fall/Fail.
Amen!

no
Obviously not. And why (and which branch of government) would Sec. 3 of the 14th Amendment NOT be enforced? That's a great question, isn't it? Because there is strong evidence that Sec. 3 of the 14th Amendment does not apply to the President of Vice President. I put a full explanation here on this channel commentary last week but it appears Professor Reich pulled it down. I'm sorry he does not support opposing views. But by all means, KEEP ASKING THAT QUESTION!! In the meantime, I guarantee you Donald Trump will be on the Republican primary ballot of EVERY STATE, and if he wins the Republican nomination, he will be on the general election ballot of EVERY STATE. And in the UNLIKELY AND UNFORTUNATE event he would actually win the Presidency, you will quickly find out that Sec. 3 of the 14th Amendment DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO PREVENT HIM FROM SERVING AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
The swamp is deep and wide And corruption is everywhere
THANK YOU , I WAS WONDERING IF THE GOP WAS SLEEPING ON THE JOB LOL
Trump and his extreme maggot Republicans are the swamp.
Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump cannot be on the ballot for any type of office
This is huge!!😁
Unconstitutional, SCOTUS will be involved soon. No conviction of Trump for insurrection, pure opinion. This is all about election interference.
Until you realize it's a fake ruling as the secretary of state cannot remove him from the ballot before January 4, so long as the ruling is contested. Congrats on the fake victory tho!! Laugh now cry later 😂
According to this there's a lot of congresspersons who should not be allowed to be there. Vote them out!

@mattiej2311
We're following the Constitution, we've already seen what damage Trump and his supporters
have done to our Nation 😢
Generally speaking, a provision in the Constitution like Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, requires an activating statute and a legal proceeding. For example, 18 U.S.C. 2383 makes it a crime to participate in a rebellion or insurrection against the United States, but Trump would have to be tried and convicted of violating this law in order to be barred from running for this. A state might pass a law giving its Secretary of State full and independent authority to bar a candidate on grounds of insurrection without a trial, but none has. Alternatively, an individual or group might file suit to keep Trump off a state's ballot, but lacking a criminal trial and conviction, it seems unlikely that such a suit would succeed. Remember, Trump was impeached by the House for insurrection but was acquitted by the Senate, so he might be immune from further prosecution for this offense under the shield of double jeopardy.
You love the 8==D
Technically that's not true. Even if someone is "convicted" of "insurrection" they are not barred from the office of President.
Why in the world is Mr. Reich the only one sharing this message? There should be NO discussion. The Constitution is VERY clear. He made himself ineligible to run when he encouraged his followers to “fight like hell” on January 6. We should fight like hell to keep his name off the ballot.
The J6 hearing proved that narrative is false.
We must share this video and content to everyone else so it spreads. The people have the right to know.
The detracts are still high-fiving Republicans in the Capitol building
They are in total denial about how dangerous the situation is actually getting
Other people have brought this up but Republicans keep blocking it.
They claim he did Not incite the insurrection and in fact they say there was no insurrection.
@atheos19Everything has to be explained to the cult. Short for distraction distracting.
I agree with everything this man said! He should be barred from ever running for a public office again!

Joe Biden has sold this nation out to the CCP. he's opened the border to millions of illegal aliens and he and his son are a crime family. Biden needs to be impeached.
He might not be on the ballot but who ever should replace him would be his puppet . He will be a political menace even from jail even if he is free but not allowed to run .
Let's hope this helps and puts this man in prison. Leave him off the ballot.
He is not the only one who should be put in jail.
Thank you Mr. Reich for speaking the clear truth🙏🏻
Great Summary💕, Sir!
Should be a Classic
worthy of Sat morning

81 Million Votes My Ass
Republicans will never see just how corrupt Trump and his supporters are!!
The only time I've heard of this actually being tried it was Arizona and it was to keep Obama off the ballot. The issue was dropped when it turned out the AG was ALSO the head of the Arizona campaign for the GOP candidate for President. Last I heard he was the Arizona Senate Liason to the "audit" of the Maricopa county election in 2020 where Trump lost. He shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near an election.
Trump on tape asking for 11780 votes in Georgia, Is a fact for Trump trying to cheat, and committing election fraud.

Times 2?
Absolutely. I'm sick of people saying he has to be convicted. It's obvious he led sn insurrection. We don't need Congress to determine that. Their just trying for a way out.
Actually, none of what you said is true.
@@ericwelsh4853 we'll let four trials prove what everyone knows. Chump and the cultists who follow him are traitors to the American people and government. He's going to fry if the traitor doesn't fly to Russia to live with his anti-American buddies.
If it was "obvious" then why hasn't a single soul been convicted of 'insurrection'?
No. Actually, in America, a conviction is a requirement.
If you don't like someone then don't vote for them. Simple as that. Nobody is barred anywhere in the Constitution from running for President. NOBODY. Including convicted felons serving life sentences. That's just fact.
There is a national organization called "Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington": (CREW) that was responsible for the lawsuit mentioned in the video, that got the Republican official in New Mexico removed. Now, buoyed by this test case success and the recent article from the two conservative Federalist Society scholars that lend political gravitas to this 14th amendment Disqualification idea, they will be filling suit in a number of states to keep Trump off the ballot. Stay tuned!
Thats exactly right! Thank you!
But not one person was charged with insurrection there, so there’s that…
@@T.R.R.Jolkien Hi! The New Mexico State Supreme Court upheld that in that case of removing a public official, that the defendant engaged in an "Insurrection" and that is was an "Insurrection". Judge Matthews of New Mexico’s 1st Judicial District Court.wrote, "The riot and the planning and incitement that led up to it “constituted an ‘insurrection’” under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
So, I respectfully add that one person was...however its unclear that SCOTUS will cite this as case law. It should be noted that its not binding precedent.
@@jstokes in other words, ‘democrats are getting desperate’.
I said it for you…
@@T.R.R.Jolkien Yes, they have made it very open and clear that they believe the former president participated in a coup, and is a danger to democracy, and should never be allowed near the white house or hold office again. And yes, at every level the former President is facing numerous indictments in court. Call it desperation if you will, but that does not do anything to mitigate the charges against him. We simply do not know how the juries will find in the respective indictments, or what the district courts will decide, or even SCOTUS, if they weigh in with the disqualification. There are a lot of questions, and it will certainly be unprecedented.
This country is so whack and he has exposed all the flaws.
He has shown the resilience of democracy. Democracy won.
@@CC58 did it, though? We're still dealing with the fallout from his last admin, and he, desantis, the idiots in congress and their base are a threat going forward.
@@cyradragons Who is your president? Who is facing four sets of indictments?
@@CC58 you've obviously missed the point of my comment, and you're awfully confident that this fragile state we're in as a country won't go even more sideways. But ok...and my president is the same as yours. Not the orangutan. Too bad there's only a handful of dems that actually fight back.
@@cyradragons The fallout is ongoing, it's just that the MAGA idiots don't realize their dilemma, yet
There are at least 20 republican members of congress who should be removed for giving aid and comfort to seditionists or for actively committing sedition.

For what?
A coup, sexual assault, bribery, tax fraud, any number of things really. He’s committed so many crimes.
@@guybrill7162 got any proof with those allogations? Don't worry I can wait 🤣.
@@yourdaddy-mq4km I mean, January sixth happened, Trump encouraged it by his own admission, you can try to reduce the impact of that if you want, but it’s pretty messed up to try to start a coup to hold power. As for assault, Trump’s been accused by over 25 different women over the years. I don’t think they’re all lying, and someone in his position over the years would have plenty of opportunities. And he’s caught on video saying he likes to grab women in a pretty bad place, was he lying then? Why would he lie and say that he assaulted women when he thought he was in private? Bribery is a bit of a miswording on my part, my apologies, but over the course of his presidency many members of foreign governments stayed in his hotels and paid a crazy amount of money for his rooms. Like, way more then they’re worth. That seems like a pretty clear case of accepting bribes from other powers while in office. I encourage you to research that further because a lot of people could do a better job explaining that than I have. As for tax fraud, I think everyone already knows about that by now. If you are fine with him lying on his taxes, good for you, but it’s pretty well documented that it happened. Hope this was helpful, would you like links?
Better yet, Put him UNDER the jail.
The fact trump isn’t currently behind bars rn is beyond concerning
For what?
@@yourdaddy-mq4km

Thank you, Mr. Reich
Have to find them guilty first.
How is he still being protected by Secret Service, much less being on the ballot?!
When Donald Trump became president, I thought he would be assassinated by the secret service within 6 months, but for some reason, they left him alone to destroy the USA at home and abroad. He made the USA a big joke and the world's leaders had a good laugh at his complete stupidity and ignorance.
All former presidents still have secret service.
All former presidents are protected by the Secret Service for life. There doesn't appear to be any stipulations, alas.
In prison inmates are already guarded, so he won’t need the secret service anymore.

@@yourdaddy-mq4km No rebuttal, no argument. Likely didn't even watch the video. Just an emoji and a lazy ad hominem is all these people have.
@@dennischiu272 I watch the part where reich lied about Trump being disqualified by the 14 amendment. Kinda need to come up with some proof he's an insurrectionist before that claim works out and we all know you don't have proof 😂.
@@yourdaddy-mq4km Now that's some classic projection Zachoff. Ya we all know who this really is.
I agree. This was a great break down of facts. Share share share
I think it's kind of ridiculous that the rule that says your barred if you've been part of an insurrection only applies to those who once held public office. If you were part of an insurrection, you should be disqualified. No ifs ands or butts about it.
I didn't hear anything about 14A only applying to former officeholders. Violating an oath of office is one way to be excluded, but not the only way. (Edit: this comment of mine is WRONG, I just read Section 3 and it DOES only apply to former office holders)
@@michaelhartmann1285 Those were Dr. Reich's words. On that parameter, after MTG became a Congress member, her video recorded speech to a CPAC that had she "led" J6, "we would have been armed and it would have succeeded" unequivocally is incendiarily fomentive speech that should be the legal basis for 14th Amendment impeaching her.
@@JudgeJulieLit I should have read it (which I just did). You're right, 14A section 3 does explicitly apply to officeholders that have engaged in insurrection. Always wise to review the source!
Okay, so I realize that this theory of invoking the 14th amendment is a long shot. First, I’m thankful that at least a Republican has grown a moral compass and has taken this action. And for those who say that technically Trump himself has not been officially charged with inciting an insurrection, I would advise them to look at and honor the letter of this amendment. ‘having engaged in an insurrection or REBELLION against the same (the government)’. And yes, several instigating participants have been directly charged with insurrection, and claimed Trump as the instigator, there is seriously NO DOUBT that Trump actively incited, inspired, abetted, and allowed this direct rebellion to occur. There should literally be no doubt here. I say this as a wholehearted former Republican. 😳
This is BRILLIANT and should be mandatory viewing for ALL AMERICANS now! Everyone please share widely on whatever social or neighborhood media sites you use! It’s so simply & under 4 min of your time. Heck, it’s got drawing -so pictures-even kids can grasp this! Defend the Constitution and our Democratic Republic!
Get Kevin to!
Once again, Uncle Bob shows the clustered masses the way forward, using the U.S. Constitution to light the way.
Perfect !!! Hopefully all will acknowledge, absorb and agree to the facts ! Thank you!
Thank you sir, for the excellent info 👍 👏😮😢😊
I read that in the Constitution MONTHS ago yet NO ONE has reported on the fact....until this video!
👍👍👍
Wouldnt it be great if this was raised in the media?
No one is talking about it because it's a lie. Trump was not indicted for insurrection.
😮 I just gotta say…. The editing of this video is freaking spot on!! It deserves an editorial award 🥇!! THIS IS HOW YOU CHANGE LIVES!! 😁
🙄
I couldn’t agree with you more. So my question is why isn’t anybody on the Democratic side bringing this up in the court of law where it will need to end up in order to have him banned?
Fuck yeah - I'm proud of my state for many things, and this is no exception. I don't know WHAT that lower court judge was even thinking to make such a clear misjudgment in her interpretation of an "officer."
One word, VOTE!!!
My question is, why is no one fighting to remove him from the ballot? Why are they ALL allowing him to run again?
I saw stories awhile back that several blue state SOS were not going to put him on their baĺlots.
Relax. He won't be on the ballot. His criminal charges take precedent over elections, no matter what you read here. His trial includes Jan. 6th insurrection. The Constitution is clear, very clear. If you have incited, or was involved in an insurrection against this country after you have taken an oath to protect it, you are automatically unqualified and could even lose citizenship. It's in the constitution. Read it. Let him weep. I am including one last comment, Criminal charges take PRECEDENT over elections, or campaigns. So, he will lose the money spent on his campaign and anyone elses money that he so willfully grifted from them. Keep your pocketbook close, you wallet closer.
I do think a more sobering question is can Joe Biden be arrested and incarcerated for treason and other more serious crimes related to the millions he and his family received on his behalf selling out the United States to hostile foreign actors. The same should also apply to all those who enabled these crimes including IRS, FBI, DOJ officials and all Democrats who ran cover for the Biden Crime Cartel.
Donald tRUMP thinks it’s his right to screw over who ever he wants! I mean, they can’t even get George Santos to stop running and he’s nothing nobody a loser do you think they’re gonna stop that other moron when he literally thinks that he runs this place come on we’re doomed
That's a great question, isn't it? Because there is strong evidence that Sec. 3 of the 14th Amendment does not apply to the President of Vice President. I put a full explanation here on this channel commentary last week but it appears Professor Reich pulled it down. I'm sorry he does not support opposing views. But by all means, KEEP ASKING THAT QUESTION!! In the meantime, I guarantee you Donald Trump will be on the Republican primary ballot of EVERY STATE, and if he wins the Republican nomination, he will be on the general election ballot of EVERY STATE. And in the UNLIKELY AND UNFORTUNATE event he would actually win the Presidency, you will quickly find out that Sec. 3 of the 14th Amendment DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO PREVENT HIM FROM SERVING AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
I would love to explain the full reason Robert Reich does not know what he is talking about, but I don't feel like wasting my time again.
We need to keep Trump off the ballot , and not holed any office again.
Thank you for all the work you put into keeping everyone informed. You are a treasure and needed at such a time.
Those principles from our constitution used to have real meaning when our country still belonged to the civilized world... Since then, we have become an unruly miasma of the worst of humanity!
You just described the Biden administration
Beyond ridiculous isn't it thanks to defendant drumpf
About time somebody talked about Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. I’ve been ringing this bell for two and a half years now…
Nobody did ? I watched the campaign in 2020 and was like "People vote for this guy ?"
Then they sacked the Capitol and I said "Now the guy is finished, adios orange moron".
And he is still out there ? Seen from France, it's surrealistic. We don't like our president, we would be glad to get rid of him if only he broke the law. But the guy is too smart.
Except Trump is not engaged in insurrection whomp whomp.
@@yourdaddy-mq4km
He and the demonstrable lie that he'd manufactured and has yet to actually corroborate in producing a solitary scintilla in empirical evidence that'd he'd been cheated ARE the catalysts for the happenings of that day...
@@yourdaddy-mq4km Without Trump, nothing would have happened on 1/6/21.
He's clearly responsible. Had he been tried by an independent jury, he would have been found guilty. These GOP senators are only interested in their reelection.
At the end of the day, the problem is idiots like you who support a paranoiac.
You probably believe Trump won in 2020, in spite of the absolute lack of evidence showing any fraud. Trump lost for many reasons. His poor management of covid.
He had no program for a second term. Too many lifelong Republican voters didn't want him at any price, because they were tired of his lies and incompetency.
The fact that this guy is running for presidency makes America a laughingstock.
@@yourdaddy-mq4km he INCITED insurrection! Whomp whomp.
Lets call for this theme and hit the streets too.
Well said. Concise and clear.
Why can't they stop him now. We have all seen what he did & he still has not accepted that he lost the 2020 vote.
Do you not believe every American is entitled to due process or not and this comeing from someone who will not vote for trump we republicans need a nominee who isn't trump
@@fritzforsthoefel8031 Due process for him should have been like it actually would have been for any other person in this nation, including any other past or present president, after Jan 6 and certainly after the classified documents indictment, where they already would have been in jail. If republicans truly want a nominee who isn't trump, they'll stop supporting him. In fact, that's been the problem from 2015 throughout this whole nightmare and still is.
Couldn’t individual states pass laws to keep criminals off the ballot in those states?
Unfortunately, red state governments enjoy having criminals on their ballots. Now I understand why the U.S. has more people in prison than any other country on the world. Smh.
Sounds like voter suppression
@@Frenite Sounds like someone didn’t pass 5th grade and has no clue what “voter suppression” actually means. 🙄
@@RJNoe Keeping people from voting for the candidate they want is voter suppression. You are silencing their vote.
It's called the Constitution it's the final word. States have there own but Constitution wins.
Sanity finally prevails in Colorado.
Agree completely. Keep trump off the ballot.
Trump should not be allowed on the ballot, but if he is it will secure a Biden 2nd term - either Drumpf as (R) candidate or splitting the vote as a third party.
Oh Biden is about at the end himself. He's the one that will be in Prison for treason soon. That old mummy has been corrupt for years. Everything you liberals have been saying Trump is guilty of is actually what Biden is Guilty of. Like the Racist thing. There's an hour worth of Racist comments that Biden has made and a lot of people are seeing these videos and aren't happy. Plus, he has lied about so much and made money while a VP he had no right to. Oh and he has a garage of documents but he seems to get away with it.
If he is barred from holding the office, votes for him would all be rejected by election workers.
The Constitution, Amendment 14, Section 3 does not expressly require a criminal conviction, and historically,
one was not necessary. A New Mexico state court, however, has removed Otero County
Commissioner Couy Griffin from office and prohibited him from seeking or holding any future office
based on his participation in, and preparation for, the January 6 interruption of the election certification.
I couldn't agree more !!!
Thank you Coloradooooo
You are completely and absolutely right thank you Lord for someone actually telling the truth

what truth?
You are not a believer. The man tells lies The man did it for money.bYou think Almighty God will accept your thanks?
@Rovingdog628but he told his followers to go peacefully protest there and not one weapon was found there. That’s not an insurrection, as stated by the FBI
@@T.R.R.Jolkien Not to mention, when nearly all of them were asked to leave, they did. Usually stupid people stay and get dragged out which was really only a tiny fraction of the people there.
I absolutely agree with you 110% Mr Robert Reich. I can't believe trump hasn't been stopped.
This is like how Hitler got into power. Scary!
I agree too, but I have little faith that our election officials will bar him.
I'm republican who don't like trump and won't vote for him but Reich doesn't believe in innocent untill proven guilty trump has been charged let the legal process play out trump has not been convicted of anything Reich owes trump an apology this isn't a democrat or republican issue but an American one all Americans are entitled to due process and a presumptuon of innocence shame on Reich
You would think Professor Reich would explain that to you wouldn't you? That's a great question, isn't it?

Yes, Dr. Reisch, I fully agree with you. Myself, I've studied that 14th Amendment clause of the Constitution so I know you're right.
SORRY BUT YOU ARE WRONG TRUMP HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN GUILITY IN A COURT OF LAW YET SO HE IS INNOCENT OF ANY WRONG DOINGS PEPRITRAITED BY THE DEMOCRATS .
I am all in for this. Trump disqualified himself by instigating the insurrection on January 6th. His family and advisors told him to put a stop to it, he refused and did nothing. It would be awesome if we were able to do a collective lawsuit against Trump to remove him from the ballot boxes.
Clear and simple. well said. and so well explained. Now can someone explain to me why so many Americans are not understanding this?

MAGAMORONS
Cognitive dissonance. Period.
So why should Biden be able to run? He's a dementia patient.
Robert, you need to send this video to each Secretary of State and anyone else who can keep him off the ballot. Me signing a petition or me telling my neighbor just won't change anything meaningful.
There's a slight technical problem here.
The specific people who are barred from holding office after engaging in insurrection or rebellion or giving aid or comfort to the enemies of the US are those "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."
To disqualify Trump, he would have to be one of those people. He has not taken an oath as "a member of Congress," as "a member of any state legislature," or "as an executive or judicial officer of any state." He would have to fall under being "an officer of the United States." There is a serious question as to whether the presdent of the United States is an "officer of the United States." Some have made the claim that the president is an "official," not an officer (elected, not appointed by the president). The Constitution talks about "officers" a lot, but never calls the president one, and it is the president's job to appoint "officers."
Then there this: "But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability." In 1872, the Amnesty Act was passed by a two-thirds vote in each house that "all political disabilities imposed by the third section of the fourteenth article of amendments of the Constitution of the United States are hereby removed..." (There is a list of those for whom it is not removed, but none of them is the president.) There is a debate here as to whether "all political disabilities... are hereby removed" means "whoever now falls under this act has their disability removed" or "section 3 no longer applies except to the offices listed (which doesn't include the presidency)."
While I would LOVE to see Trump disqualified from holding office, invoking the 14th Amendment is a far cry from a slam dunk and is likely to fail.
I'm on the same page as you. It would be nice if the amendment did apply to Trump, but it doesn't. And that's what his lawyers' winning argument would be. And as you've pointed out, a 2/3 majority of both houses could quash it.
BANNED!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Mr. Reich for another educational and entertaining video. We cannot let Mango Mussolini anywhere near the levers of power. Ban#45FromOfficeForever

Unfortunately, that lawsuit will have to occur and his guilt be legally proven before he can no longer be considered for office.
Lawyers can’t save getting their own bs in the way of justice
Reich,the$ 40,000 an hour man.Thats $10,000 per foot of his height.
With every public comment he makes he encourages insurrection all over again. Right now he have about 200 counts of Insurrection that could be pressed against him.
I was almost sure, but thank you for letting the country know !
