What do you mean? What part of Trump's election was unconstitutional?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Those participating in or fomenting an insurrection are no longer constitutionally eligible to hold public office, period. Yet here we are.

For starters, the president of the United States once said that a convicted felon winning the election would be a constitutional crisis, and then he proceeded to do that.

So we're listening to Trump's opinions on the constitution now?

According to BBC:

The US Constitution sets out relatively few eligibility requirements for presidential candidates: they must be at least 35, be a “natural born” US citizen and have lived in the US for at least 14 years.

So despite what he thinks on the matter, electing a convicted felon appears to be constitutional.

God, what is wrong with you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, what's wrong with YOU? The felon argument is a shit one. It's important being a felon doesn't bar you from running so shit bags like Trump can't just make all their opposition into felons and pretend it's legal.

It's in the constitution. I suggest you read it sometime. You can't make shit up like trump and expect to be right.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, you should try reading it. There's literally only one crime that blocks you from running for office and not just being convicted of a felony. I'd rather have it that way.

14th amendment.

He's also not capable of running if he legitimately believes he's won two elections already.

14th Amendment to the Constitution, Section 3

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.
