Ex-Trump Lawyer Says Congress Already Has Evidence That Should 'Easily' Result in 'Disqualification

[Swede]

"The Pence tweet, coupled with the three hours of inaction, in my view, easily fits into the definition of giving aid and comfort to the insurrectionists, and that is the standard under Article 3 of the 14th Amendment, which Congress has at its disposal," Cobb explained.

1. No shit!

We all watched it live. Nothing has changed.

2. In theory. Does anyone really think enough Repuqs would vote in favor of barring tfg

from ever holding a elected federal office again to meet the 2/3rds of each house threshold?

4. The 2/3rds provision in the section is to remove the disability,

not to impose it.

6. Thanks for setting me straight. I actually

googled it (14th) before posting no less. Lol. Guess it’s not a wise thing to post first thing in the morning before even having coffee.

3. How does that get invoked?

Just proving he did is one thing. But what is the mechanism to actually disqualify him. Do the courts do it through lawsuit or a criminal trial? Or is it just a matter of the house passing a bill disqualifying him and then senate passing it? Does President Joe Biden (Damn that’s nice to type) then sign it and it is in effect?

How does the fourteenth work to disqualify? It takes 2/3 vote to remove the disqualification. That’s spelled out. But not how to invoke

5. If

Ever someone should be disqualified from running again, it’s this guy.
