Another Reason Why Trump Is NOT Subject to the 14th Amendment Section 3

[excalibur]

That’s just lame

Try harder.

There is a recent Supreme Court opinion discussing the scope of the Constitution's "Officers of the United States"-language. In Free Enter. Fund v. Pub. Co. Accounting Oversight Bd. (2010), Chief Justice Roberts observed that "[t]he people do not vote for the 'Officers of the United States.'" Rather, "officers of the United States" are appointed exclusively pursuant to Article II, Section 2 procedures. It follows that the President, who is an elected official, is not an "officer of the United States."​

Is the President an “officer of the United States” for purposes of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment?

Why won't you show the board where the commissioning of the President as an officer as defined in the Constitution took place?

And how every President since George Washington commissioned themselves.

We're waiting.

Article II, Section 3:

... and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

... because such is not required. You have no way but the exit.

... because such is not required. You have no way but the exit.

But Article II Section 3 says "all".

And this:

Nope. English cannot be your first language. Maybe a third one.

What cracks me up is that you tards aren’t defending Trump against the charge that he is guilty of being part of an insurrection, you’re trying to wordsmith whether insurrection can apply to a President.
