The 14th A's error in not expressly forbidding a former prez who engaged in an insurrection from running for office...

Colorado judge rules Trump ‘engaged in an insurrection’ — but can still run for president

The ruling came in a case brought by progressive activists who sued the state, arguing that Trump was barred from returning to the office.

www.politico.com

............is an illustration of a broad lack of imagination by it's writers, and the framers more generally, in not having the capacity to contemplate a figure like the Stable Genius. It is not the only instance in which he has been advantaged by the absence of language prohibiting actions he has taken simply because no one so antithetical to our democracy had been anticipated. Something we need to remedy.

The Failure of Presidential Reform for a Second Trump Presidency

Yes, “a second Trump administration would be much worse,” as the Vox headline said after Trump’s CNN town hall meeting. And yes, “Trump’s Second-Term Goal” would be to “Shatter[] the Norms He Didn’t Already Break,” as the New York Times reported following the same event.

Yet the “news” in the CNN town hall has long been obvious. Trump’s norm-breaking grew during his presidency (and Trump got better over time at manipulating the bureaucracy). It continued after the 2020 presidential vote and before President Biden was inaugurated, most notably on Jan. 6, but not just then. It has persisted and grown in his post-presidency, most notably (but not exclusively) in how Trump handled classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. And as Isaac Arnsdorf and Jeff Stein at the Washington Post have documented, Trump in videos and speeches has been outlining a second-term agenda that portends a very aggressive and in many ways novel conception of the presidency.

Of course Trump’s second term will be worse on the norms and legal compliance front.

And yet while the nation has been on clear notice of this possibility, it has done very little since Trump left office to build up the institutions of government and put guardrails on the presidency to check these tendencies. The major exception is the Electoral Count Reform Act, a crucial improvement of the presidential selection process. Other modest but important reforms of the presidency include new protections for inspectors general from opportunistic removal and replacement by the president, and power-of-the-purse reform.

Apparently you haven't seen the released videos of what the Pelosi cops did to people who were peacefully walking through the Capitol and were unarmed. The cops opened fire with hand grenades and disfiguring pop guns that made people's faces bleed and injured people for merely exercising their First Amendment to peacefully protest while Pelosi's cops were targeting innocent people and rearranging their faces with pock marks and blood spilling. I was horrified to see it on another thread around here last night.

That is not even correct Constitutional language.
You are defining 'insurrection'

Anyway if the 'PEOPLE" (ultimate source of Constitution power) elect him there is no further recourse. It is like Jury Nulification.

Here are some ideas for needed reform.


As the U.S. begins to see the light at the end of the Trumpian tunnel, it is time to begin thinking about the issue of repair. One should not assume the result of the election, but it is nonetheless worth asking the question: What should be done in a post-Trump world to restore the rule of law?

Of Trump’s many excesses, his assault on legal norms has to rank high in terms of damage to fundamental values that form the fabric of America. His attacks on the free press, the independent judiciary and the independence of the Department of Justice have all created significant damage. His abuse of executive discretionary authority has made a mockery of the concept of checks and balances. His gaming of the judicial system has revealed weaknesses in our legal process. His attempts to place himself (and his family and his business interests) above the law have called into question foundational national conceptions of equal justice. In short, President Trump has led a wrecking crew (aided and abetted by William Barr and Mitch McConnell) that has severely damaged American legal norms of behavior.

Trump’s attacks on foundational norms and principles leave policymakers with two choices. Lawmakers and voters can accept that damage and admit the inevitability of American decline, or they can fight to restore and strengthen the country’s legal guardrails. This post is an effort to begin that fight—to identify practical steps that the country can take to reinvigorate the rule of law and the concept of checks and balances.

The Constitution's ultimate power comes from the SC's interpretation of it.

It won't be the people who elects him if he wins a second term. It will be the anachronistic EC.

The recourse will be endless protests and a refusal to comply with the inevitable unconstitutional dictates.

First the EC (something in the Constitution) is "anachronistic", then you move to mewling about how the awful Orange Man's actions will be unconstitutional.

You can stop pretending that you moonbats give fuck #1 about the Constitution any time now....Nobody is buying it.
