Colorado Lawsuit Seeks to Keep Trump Off Ballots Under 14th Amendment
The amendment says anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the Constitution after taking an oath to defend it is ineligible to hold office, and a long-shot effort to employ it is growing.
You're viewing a single thread.
In the last state that tried this, it failed. From my understanding, he must first be found guilty of having committed a crime which disqualifies him. No matter how obviously guilty he is, this seems like a necessary first step, although IANAL.
The amendment was instituted in the wake of the Civil War, and was used several times against members of the Confederacy who never had a trial or conviction.
This, however, is not a time of war. The legal standards, therefore, might be different. 
It wasn’t a time of war after the Civil War ended, either.
My point is that a lot has changed since then regarding legal precedences and procedure.
You meant that when you said ‘this is not a time of war’?
I never would have guessed.
What does you liking anal have anything to do with it 😜
