It feels like he should be disqualified from holding office.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago (2 children)

He should be but the 14th Amendment keeps him out only if he previously took an oath to the Constitution. You can go all out full shooting war against the federal government but as long as you weren't already elected or appointed or whatever, you're still eligible.

He was in the military and therefore swore an oath. He's absolutely disqualified under the 14th amendment.

That is my interpretation too. It feels wrong or at least lacking.

Now if only we could make changes to it somehow... Like amend it or something?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Amendments need a functioning government willing to change shit for the better in a bipartisan way. That's not going to happen for a long time.
