The New York Sun newspaper said that a clash is expected if Republican candidate Donald Trump wins a second term, as efforts may be made to exclude him from the White House on the basis of Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
The American newspaper explained – in a report written by AR Hoffman – that this paragraph of the amendment prevents former government officials from assuming new positions if they swore to support the Constitution and then betrayed it by engaging in a rebellion, and it is the paragraph on the basis of which the Democrats sought to bring down Trump because of his role in trying to reverse the results. Previous presidential elections.
“We will not stand for any fraud. We will defend fair and honest elections, as we have always done,” Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin said, before explaining that “exclusion for engaging in insurrection is the most democratic of all forms of exclusion because it is the form in which the people themselves choose to have Exclude them.”
Raskin, who presided over the impeachment of Trump after the events of January 6, had warned that the former president was “paving the way” for “a second round of the Big Lie,” and his comments came after Representative Hakeem Jeffries pledged that “House Democrats will do everything “It is necessary to protect our democracy, defend the transfer of power, and ensure that the winner of the January 6 presidential election is certified without drama or consequences.”
The Colorado Supreme Court upheld this position when it ruled that January 6, 2021 was an insurrection, and that the 45th president, i.e. Trump, was sufficiently responsible to trigger the exclusion clause, but the Supreme Court unanimously issued a decision to overturn the Rocky Mountain state ruling in the case Trump v. Anderson.
Insulation option
The newspaper reminded that one of the means of exclusion is conviction under the Criminal Insurrection Act, and this law stipulates that “whoever incites, initiates, aids, or participates in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority or laws of the United States, or provides assistance thereto, shall be fined under this title.” Or imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both, and he shall be incapable of holding any office in the United States.”
However, Special Counsel Jack Smith did not accuse Trump of insurrection, and the Department of Justice failed to bring this charge to more than a thousand defendants in the events of January 6, and therefore no federal court decided that the Capitol riot was a rebellion, except for lawyer Andy McCarthy. If Democrats win control of both chambers of Congress, he believes, “they may try to pass legislation that would create a process” to remove Trump.
The writer concluded that Democrats may avoid excluding Trump in favor of impeaching him, especially since he pledged to fire Smith within “two seconds” if he wins, even though the special counsel’s regulations stipulate that Smith can only be fired by the Attorney General, and for good reason that must be expressed in writing. Therefore, if Democrats control the House of Representatives, they may launch impeachment procedures for a third time against Trump.
