You're viewing a single thread.
The 14th Amendment disqualifies him.
It only applies if he took an oath to uphold the constitution prior to committing the treason.
I.E. government officials and ex military personnel who took place in the Jan 6 riots would be disqualified, but not every random yahoo that was there.
EDIT: Others have pointed out that he is ex-military, so it looks like the 14th amendment does apply to him after all.
Isn't that the whole 'Pledge Of Allegiance' we were made to repeat every single week day of our lives from 5 to 18?
no
Would've been a perfect catch lol
That is not a legally binding pledge.
Hello again! Once more, you're blatantly incorrect!
You're clearly not a lawyer. The only people I have EVER met who are as prodigious at misinforming others about the law are currently incarcerated people, who are commonly referred to as "jailhouse lawyers." Please, stop spreading misinformation here; I'm actually begging you.
You do a disservice to EVERYONE that you hope will vote against these people. You allow them to think some obscure, rarely -prosecuted thing written somewhere will magically just solve all the problems. They won't. This is an ENORMOUS stress test of American democracy, and "hoping words on paper" cures everything is farcical. These systems we have in place are slow, the Supreme Court is stacked in ideological opposition to your hopes and dreams, and placing faith in these miracle words is just fucking naive.
People, please, I beg you all to campaign for people who uphold your principles and defend the constitution, then go VOTE for them. Additionally, I implore you to actually follow these court cases and read up on the law. Or at least, listen to actual constitutional lawyers talk about these topics. Then, completely fucking disregard everything YoBuckStopsHere says because they're flat out wrong every fucking time.
