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.”

@suzianne saidThose are facts, not conspiracy theories.
Stop with your BS conspiracy theories. Stop.
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, w ...[text shortened]... t or not. None of us liked it, but it happened. You cannot flap your jaw here and make it go away.
Trump is not being charged with insurrection.

@shavixmir saidyou insinuated that was what Trumps crimes were. was he charged with those you listed? or was you just flat plain wrong?

@metal-brain saidAnd neither do you.
Those are facts, not conspiracy theories.
Trump is not being charged with insurrection.
He doesn't have to be charged to be ineligible to run again.
You can read, can't you?

@metal-brain saidMany CSA officials were denied such positions even though they were not formally charged and convicted of either "insurrection or rebellion".

@metal-brain saidCan you show me where it says "charged" or "convicted" in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment?
For example?
@mott-the-hoople saidYou're as stupid as he is. Can't you read either?

@suzianne saidHe was already charged with those charges during his impeachment trial. He was acquitted so double jeopardy law applies. You cannot prosecute Trump for the same thing twice.
Can you show me where it says "charged" or "convicted" in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment?
Most of the indictments are unconstitutional under double jeopardy.
The Supreme Court has affirmed “the Double Jeopardy Clause prohibits merely punishing twice, or attempting a second time to punish criminally, for the same offense.” Helvering v. Mitchell, 303 U.S. 391, 399 (1938). Because the President has already been prosecuted—twice—for the asserted crimes underlying both of Jack Smith’s indictments, the legal remedy has already been applied: there is simply no other form of legal redress that is tolerable under the Constitution.
