Angesichts der für Trump positiven Umfragen befinden sich die Anti-Trumpisten in Panik-Mode.
"Could Trump be blocked from ballot? 14th Amendment raises eligibility arguments"
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/41...nt-eligibility/
Wie lautet das 14th Amendment Section 3:
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
a)
die ersten 2 Fragen hier sind:
Hat der Präsident "taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state" ?
a1) ist der Präsident ein "Officer of the United States"?
In U.S. v. Mouat (1888) hat das Oberste Gericht festgelegt, dass
" “unless a person in the service of the government . . . holds his place by virtue of an appointment . . ., he is not, strictly speaking, an officer of the United States.
We do not see any reason to review this well established definition of what it is that constitutes such an officer.”
Später wurde dies in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (2010) bestätigt: “The people do not vote for the ‘Officers of the United States.’ ”
Allein die Antwort auf die Frage a1) macht die ganze Sache obsolet
A2)
Hat der Präsident am 20.1.2016 das Eid
"taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state"
Article VI
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution"
Die US-Verfassung ist zwar alt, aber sie ist dafür bekannt, nichts Überflüssiges und auf keinen Fall doppelt-gemoppelte Sachen zu beinhalten.
Und dann findet man Article II section 1 clause 8:
"Article II
Section 1 Function and Selection
Clause 8 Presidential Oath of Office
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:– I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Auch dies macht die Sache obsolet.
b)
" engaged in insurrection or rebellion"
Keine der recht lächerlichen Anklagen gegen Trump impliziert "insurection or rebellion"
Wer soll also entscheiden, dass Trump sich dieser Straftaten schuldig gemacht hat?
Biden, Schiff, CNN oder das ZDF ?
