A handful of congressional Democrats are investigating whether former President Donald Trump can be prevented from holding elected office again through the application of an obscure portion of the 14th Amendment.
Section 3 of the amendment, enacted in 1868 and best known for enshrining the Equal Protection Clause, prevents any government official who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the US from holding office again.
According to The Hill, approximately a dozen Democratic lawmakers have publicly or privately spoken about applying Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to Trump, whom they accuse of inciting the Jan. 6 riot that disrupted the congressional certification of the 2020 election results.
“If anything the idea has waxed and waned,” liberal Harvard Law School professor emeritus Laurence Tribe told the outlet.
“I hear it being raised with considerable frequency these days both by media commentators and by members of Congress and their staffs, some of whom have sought my advice on how to implement Section 3.”
Tribe has met with the staffs of Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a member of the House select committee investigating the riot, Jerry Nadler (D-NY), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.).
The offices of all three members did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
My question then is how is Wasserman Schultz holding office when she had IRANIANS / AFGANISTANIANS running her office IT Dept? How is California Rep holding office when he was sleeping with a Chinese spy for years?
They already Played the hand of trying to Barr Trump in their Fake Witch-Hunt Kangaroo Court
Impeachment attempts several times over !!! & TRUMP WAS EXONERATED = NOT GUILTY !!!!!!

Keep in mind the weird Democrat practice of preemptively blaming others for the crimes the Democrats are committing, have committed, or are about to commit.
Time for the people to stand up and say “oh, no you don’t!”
