      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.

      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.

    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.

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.

      @@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?

    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.

It's in the constitution. Read it. Let him weep. I am including one last comment, Criminal charges take PRECEDENT over elections, or campaigns.
