Winning a presidential election doesn’t give you special dispensation to violate the Constitution. On the contrary, your job is to “Take Care” the laws “be faithfully executed” and you must swear an Oath to support the Constitution.

You had a constitution he just told the Supreme Court to go fuck itself you now live in Nazi America. Democracy is gone no longer there up wake up now.
I think if Trump creates an official 2028 campaign, we should encourage Obama to do exactly the same if he's willing to come back. What better way to either enforce the 2 term limit or not let Trump get away with having a 2028 campaign organization. We can mirror what Trump does for our side.
I was going to mention that nasty little fact, but you beat me to it. Although not required, placing your left hand on the Bible is tradition and represents swearing (before God) to uphold that oath. The fact that Trump did not do this speaks volumes.
Nothing trump says is a joke. He means every bit of it. He doesn’t think he’s president. He thinks he’s the king. He’s going to keep power until he dies.
Jaime, my dear, we have cheaters and liars in the WH and in the Supreme Court and an entire republican party of enablers...Sadly, The Constitution is looking like just an old piece of paper now.
Trump is unconstitutionally refusing the order of the federal and Supreme Court unanimous decision to bring home a wrongfully deported and imprisoned man. One of many. So telling us it doesn’t matter while many democrats remain silent doesn’t ease a single fear of what is being ALLOWED to happen.
Uh. Hate to break this to you but that entire other party is currently wiping their butts with your constitution.
Love you Jamie, but we are past the point of hoping the constitution will constrain him.
Rep. Raskin, if you think Trump is going to say, "oh, the Constitution doesn't allow me to win a second term, so I'm just going to slink off into obscurity," you're sorely mistaken. We need to take his threat seriously and shore up any loopholes or norms that could potentially be exploited by MAGA.
If anyone hadn’t noticed, during Trump’s 2nd inauguration he did NOT put his hand on the Bible while taking his “oath”. All the while Melania stood there like a statue with the good book burning a hole through her gloved hands 🔥✋🏼✝️
Don't forget that tango tyrant "forgot" to place his syphilitic hand on the bible whilst making the oath. I would not be surprised if he uses this as an excuse...
Imagine a senator on X just whispering to a highly placed insider, Can’t you take down Smith’s account.
Presto. Smith is notified: your account has been suspended for violating our rules. No further explanation. BlueSky & X are wrong for Social Security communications. Seriously.
How about some articles of impeachment? Or something along those lines. It's ridiculous how much this administration is getting away with. Something needs to be done.
No, he was eligible to run. He had only been elected once before. The concern I have is that the *strict* wording of our 12th amendment says he can't be *elected* more than twice.
If someone else is elected president with him as vice president, and that person steps down, then VP Trump assumes the role of president - without being elected to the presidency, thus skirting the 12th amendment.
The Oath of Office is written out in full in the Constitution; the words "so help me God" are not included. Every person who has said those four words has violated the Oath in the taking of it.
Honestly, we are kidding ourselves. SCOTUS immunity will allow Trump to do whatever he wants and hand out pardons to whomever he wants. The Seal Team 6 argument on every level.
Trump is violating a unanimous SCOTUS ruling now. What's proof do we have to assume he won't do it again and, like now, SCOTUS won't ignore their authority? He even violated their Tiktok ruling and SCOTUS did nothing about it.
Oh, is Trump respecting the constitution now? Congress is bound by the constitution to remove Trump from office immediately for not following SCOTUS orders.
Okay, but there doesn't seem like there's anything you can or will do about it. He is violating a court order and there is no mechanism available to stop or punish him. Biden should have expanded the supreme court while he was in there. Now we're stuck until end of 2026. Convince some R's to quit.
Well is it a stretch to say that the oath of office has been broken & seek Judicial resolutions for those proven to have done that? Why take an oath you can break if thier are no consequences? Promising to bring popsicles, then serving Jones Town Coolaid is definately not the promise of popsicles.
Re: "because he won" technically he did but only because Democrats didn't have enough of a backbone to fight back against all the bogus ballot challenges and the voter suppression.
Unless SCOTUS reverses the immunity ruling and GOP cowards get backbone, and insider trading GOP members are prosecuted, they will continue the path towards total destruction and dictatorship. They must be removed forcibly by US Marshals assuming they haven’t become traitors too.
Wake up 160M Americans who opposed both @AIPAC two party corporate elections in 2024!

People keep saying, 'You can't just violate the Constitution', when he IS and he HAS and he continues to do so and NO ONE or NO THING IS STOPPING HIM. It's like parents telling a child to stop or they will get spanked, but the parents never get up from the sofa to spank the child. GEEZ just do it!
Just the damage DOGE has done is irreparable, as is the country's image in the eyes of the world. For much, there is no fixing, there is no going back. There is only survival, and a chance to rebuild anew, or perish from the earth.
We need the judicial courts, lawyers, judges and the Supreme Court justices to stand up against the tyranny brought by Donald trump and his corrupt cronies, and defend America and the people. Thank you Jami Raskin.
You say he doesn’t have special dispensation, but why is there no one to stop him. What is the penalty for violating the constitution. Is there no recourse when violating the constitution? It looks that there is no one to enforce the law to stop the loss of all of our rights and freedoms.
This is so Democrat move...the guy is literally sitting on multiple constitution amendments, and Dems still believe that will help them to change next elections.
There ain’t gonna be another election. Or at least one they can win. Trump might be indemnified against prosecution but his acolytes aren’t. They know power is their only protection
The 14th amendment section 3 was meant to protect us from this. A felon should be disqualified if your are charged with a felony you should be barred unless acquitted. Congress never convened to remove the felons disqualification
Dear Mr. Raskin,
What will it take for Congress to stop 47?
He doesn't care about
the US Constitution. His
own SCOTUS gave him Executive Immunity, that, unless they reverse that, he will continue to dismantle our democracy.
For God's sake, STOP HIM NOW! Invoke the #25thA
He is defying the supreme court’s orders today. What are YOU doing about it? Resign. Get out of the way and let a generation step in that’s willing to do something about it.
THEN WHY IS THE ORANGE CLOWN PUPPET ALLOWED TO TARGET EMPLOYEES THAT WERE INVESTIGATING HIM AND TESLAR AND SPACE x AND ALLOWING A SUPPOSED NON-EMPLOYEE TO GUT SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS.
"☝️🤓 erm actually, you can't do fascism" they say in a sharply pressed suit, as fascism forms around them
god this shit is so pathetically milquetoast. bare your goddamn teeth and start formulating the "or else." we need to start saying the consequences for abandoning the Constitution out loud
He can't be ELECTED. The snake's attorneys will argue that he can be elected vice president then assume the role when the elected president abdicates.
Just wait and see.
The US system is so shit. Atleast in countries like UK and Australia, if the leader sucks, the party can just easily replace them with someone else. US system gave way too much power to the president, even before this with little to no guard rails except verbal assurances.
He didn't do anything.He promise to lower the price of food.You promise to make the credit card co. Make their interest rates 10%. He told maga he was going to make america great again And the only thing he's Done is. still the americans taxpayers Money so he could be rich Again And taken Bribes

Love you Jamie, but we are past the point of hoping the constitution will constrain him.
Just you wait.
Lying is Donald’s only true friend.

You’re in a position to take action whereas most of us peasants have no option other than voting or running to replace you.

What happens when congress votes to hand him more power?
What happens when he defies court rulings?
We’re here. We’re at this stage. What are you going to do about it?
Just wait and see.
