Ineligible

August 29, 2023 by Guest Post

by Nancy Oesau, Hamilton

Ex-president Donald Trump is ineligible to ever run for any office according to the 14th Amendment. Sec. 3. It prohibits: anyone who has previously taken the oath of office for the United States from holding public office, if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the United States.

The January 6 insurrection disqualifies Mr. Trump from ever running for office. Email your Secretary of State, Christie Jacobson, sosbusiness@mt.gov  or call 406 444-2034.

    There was no “insurrection” on Jan 06, unless your referring to a bunch of idiots walking around in the capitol building being escorted by capital police. Secondly, Trump has been convicted of nothing. Thirdly, if you believe the polling data Trump is tied with Biden nation wide. A reasonable person would look at Trump and wonder how he could be tied with a geriatric dementia driven old man that has been a horrific president. Trump is hugely beneficial to the democrats. He will motivate the dems and bring down the entire republican ticket in every state. Finally, disqualifying candidates is the job of the voter, let’s let them decide who is and is not fit.

      This is a great comment Alan. Thank you for posting it. However, the latest polls I’ve seen Trump is so far ahead of Biden Biden could ride his bike and not even catch up.

    I am amazed that YOU would call TRUMP guilty before you have even heard the evidence. Whatever happened to innocent util PROVEN guilty? OMG. Now let’s have a conversation about BIDEN and company shall we? How many million did he an this son get from CHINA? Ukraine? Russia? in the forms of bribes? Talk about corrupt? And how did Hunter Biden get away with no penalty for having a gun and lying about it on forms? And druggie? Start with your own corrupt party and look at them first….Start way back with Hillary and Obama and move forward….

      “I am amazed that YOU would call TRUMP guilty before you have even heard the evidence.”

      I’m sorry, what was that chant that Trump cult members chanted at rallies in 2016? “LOCK HER UP!”? Yeah, that’s what it was.

      “Now let’s have a conversation about BIDEN and company shall we?”

      Yes, let’s do please. And if you find anything that either he and his son has done that was illegal, please, by all means charge them & let them be judged by a jury of their peers.

      That’s the difference between Dems and the Trump cult. Dems believe in the rule of law. Trump cult members only believe in their orange god.

        GOMEZ – as usual you are a day late and a dollar short. Hillary used bleach bit to wipe her computer, had an unsecured server in her bathroom of her house, allowed her daughter and maid to see top secret information and at the same time had a top security clearance as SOS. Know what would happen to YOU if you had done that? Hmmmm? Lock her up is mild to what that woman did to violate the security of the country. But then – you are like Nancy above – a day late and a dollar short.

          And yet when Donald Trump was in the WH for four years, he did not find any way to charge her with so much as jay walking. Four. Years. All of those hearings. all of those investigations. Zero charges. All on Trump’s watch.

          Donald Trump will be going to prison in the not so distant future, that, you can bank on. His bill has finally come due.
