@metal-brain saidWe fell for that one back when Mitch McConnell used it to deny Obama's Constitutionally authorized Supreme Court pick. Never again.
@sonhouse
What is wrong with letting the American people decide that when they vote?
It seems to me that you are the one who has a problem with democracy. You want a minority to decide if Trump can run in 2024
Why do you support a dictatorship?
Fact is, according to the 14th Amendment, Trump is ineligible to run for any elective office ever again.
@suzianne saidwhere in the constitution is a requirement for a time limit?

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. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Well, if trump’s found guilty, then that will be that then. At least the problem of him being president from prison has become a non-issue.

@metal-brain saidAmendment XIV
No. He was indicted, not convicted.
Section 3. 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.

"shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same"
Engaged in insurrection. Not charged, not indicted, not convicted. Engaged.
Trump has certainly engaged in insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.
@suzianne saidTrump did not tell his followers to go into the Capitol Building.

Did he engage in insurrection or did he not? He certainly did. We all saw it.
That is the only benchmark as stated in the 14th Amendment.

We know what the plan was for that day. All Trump had to do was light the powderkeg that day in his speech at the Ellipse. He laid it out for his followers, to march down to the Capitol and to fight like hell.
He certainly engaged in insurrection that day. We all saw it. Don't try to tell us what we saw. It happened, whether you like it or not. None of us liked it, but it happened. You cannot flap your jaw here and make it go away.
