Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Unless it's specifically stated in the State's Constitution, removing him from the ballot should require Congressional action. He's total garbage, but Congress does nothing, he has the right to be on the ballot.
California also refused to remove him from the ballot
Congress can only take action where they are constitutionally allowed. The absence of a state law doesn’t give Congress unilateral authority over a State.
Federal law supersedes state law
Federal preemption is a doctrine with plenty of exceptions and it doesn't even apply here. Read a book.
It's not up for the courts to decide, it's up to Congress to enforce the Constitution of the US. SCOTUS will likely overturn Colorado's decision due to Congressional inaction
It is not up to Congress to enforce the U.S. Constitution. The Executive Branch does that.
incorrect-- law enforcement is the purview of the executive branch. the courts interpret laws. congress create laws.
stay in school!
14th Amendment
you forgot to include the part that says only congress can enforce laws.
oh, wait, it’s not there???
lmao, stay in school. oh and remember to breathe, since that wan’t written in the constitution, either, but, apparently, you need to be explicitly told that… lmao
