President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

If a 14th Amendment case emerged involving Biden or Obama or Clinton, states would have laws on the books quicker than you can say Grover Norquist.

 

The gall of these people

But Trump's lawyers are arguing that the specific language of the Constitution argues that this requirement only applies to people in offices who are bound to "support" the Constitution — and the presidency is not one of those offices.

"The Presidential oath, which the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment surely knew, requires the President to swear to 'preserve, protect and defend' the Constitution — not to 'support' the Constitution," said the filing by Trump's attorneys. "Because the framers chose to define the group of people subject to Section Three by an oath to 'support' the Constitution of the United States, and not by an oath to 'preserve, protect and defend' the Constitution, the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment never intended for it to apply to the President."

 

Israel always confused me geographically as a kid. I would look in an atlas and see the West Bank was on the east and think east was west and west was east.

 

Add that to the pile of unfitunfitunfitunfit

 

No kidding. I'd say preserving, protecting and defending the Constitution are just more specific, more descriptive, more formalized definitions of "supporting" it -- which would all be befitting someone who is the President, or who is about to be sworn in to job. Just how much of a purposely obtuse pretzel does a lawyer have to be twisted into to make their "case"?

 

It's all completely a delay tactic. When this spectacularly gets swatted into the rafters, they'll file another suit saying Trump doesn't have to "grok" the Constitution. They will keep plowing deep into the thesaurus for a chink in the armor.

 

Wait til you go to New Orleans.

 

The measure to vote for a speaker has to be initiated by the acting speaker, correct?

Even if another person has the 218 votes, the acting speaker could prevent a vote from happening, right?

 

Triumphant Impunity.

Just because the presidential oath of office specifically states the POTUS must "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States," Fatfuck has no obligation to "support" the Constitution.
