If MAGAts elected Barron before he reaches age 35 or Elon Musk (not a natural born citizen) - they would not be sworn in under the 14th Amendment.
So why are we simply rolling over now?
trump is barred "having engaged in insurrection."
GOP has a remedy if they have 2/3 votes.

As you can see they also refused to rule as to whether trump did engage in insurrection, so I'm sure they would use that loophole in the future.
I don't want to get any hopes up. But someone should fucking at least TRY to stop this shitshow.

Congress has to force the GOP to attempt to "remove his disability" having engaged in insurrection - and they need 2/3.
We could at least try.
(SCOTUS will over turn it. Again. But... We shouldn't have accepted half their recent rulings!)
If MAGAt elected an under 35 Barron or Elon Musk (not a natural born citizen) - neither would be sworn in because they are also ineligible.
Twisting rules, norms - reinterpreting the law to suit them.
A member should at least raise the issue to the floor and force a vote.
