A postscript, prompted by a factual error by @bbcnews: on January 20th, America will inaugurate as its president...its oldest living EX-president🤷🏼‍♂️

(from across the pond) As a UK BBC licence payer I agree with this message. I'm Dutch, though, a settled citizen, and holder of EU passport, mind. All things considered, when Reagan was elected when I was 12, it was a complete hoot. And Spitting Image followed. The President's Brain's Missing
The 14th Sec3, states clearly that trump may not hold any office.
No “act of congress” required to activate it.
It only says that he must get 2/3 support from congress to override it.
He can’t be inaugurated -
Let him file suit. Then we can finally get the “January 6” trial we all deserve.
Still--Civil Rights acts needed to be passed to give to teeth to other amendments. To optimize our success...concerned ppls presents: https://bsky.app/profile/n1ghtmarica.bsky.social/post/3leg5dxrmw22z Just takes 5-10 minutes. Email your 2 senators and your congressperson. Deadline Fri 1/3 5pm EST
Civil rights acts are complex.
Section 3 of the 14th is very clear. They mention congress only for the purpose of trump having a chance to get back his eligibility for holding office. (In the case of some mistake or error.)
Seems like (layman here) scotus said a state can’t use S3of the 14 to kick a federal candidate off their ballot.
Which is fair (to me) because the section says “may not hold any office” nothing about running for office.
Congress has a way to override - all he needs is â…” support.
Let’s test it out!
You are doing a better job than Kirschner. Yeah--SCOTUS said that Congress needs to pass an enforcement act like the one in known as the Enforcement Act of 1870. It was used to remove confederate soldiers who were getting elected even while the 14th amendment existed.
