So long as U.S. Constitutional requirements are met, each state can set its own election criteria. That is done via a vote by the legislature and signature by the governor.
Ballot access for presidential candidates
Ballotpedia: The Encyclopedia of American Politicsballotpedia.org
The 14th amendment has no requirement for a conviction. SCOTUS would have to invent requirements not listed. Moreover, requiring convictions would be a weird. It’s never been required when it was used before. Not even Jefferson Davis was convicted.In any event, DeSantis isn't going to go the same route that the democrats are. I think he's right, the SCOTUS will shit-can this nonsense and will basically say you can't use the 14th Amendment to circumvent the voters' choice without a conviction of insurrection or rebellion. Personally, I've never been a fan of tit-for-tat, we can be just as dishonest and unscrupulous as they are. If enough Americans do not see the utter hypocrisy of the Left and vote against them, well then I guess we'll get the gov't we deserve. Sorry Kaz, victory at any cost doesn't work for me.
However, the Florida GOP governor said the act by Bellows was not an appropriate interpretation of the 14th Amendment and would ultimately be reversed by the Supreme Court.
“Well, obviously, to have one executive branch official unilaterally striking someone off the ballot is not an appropriate interpretation of the 14th Amendment,” he said. “We could have — in Florida, what, are we going to have Biden struck off the ballot because he’s allowed an invasion of 8 million people, including enemy nations have sent people in? This could just be — end up being a tit-for-tat. So I think it’ll get reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court. I think it’s more of a stunt that you have a very liberal person in that position who’s just trying to play for cheap clicks.”
“But, ultimately, I don’t think it’s grounded in a proper interpretation of the Constitution,” DeSantis added.
There is harm if the law is reinterpreted or used incorrectly to keep a political opponent off the ballot.So, then if the laws of the state are being followed there is no harm in someone not being put on the ballot, correct?

Not in the mood for your games GG. You'll keep this up all day I know. I answered your questions honestly and completely and supported my positions with credible links. That will never be good enough for you I think so just have a pleasant afternoon okay?Which is why there is an appeal process.

They are fighting fascism with fascism FFStating what are most likely facts is somehow refusing to fight back? Wow you read a lot of judgment into something that was said and also not said.
If I have to take the side that is wrong on the facts and reasoning in order to be approved in your eyes, I'll just have to be disapproved. EVERYBODY, including Biden, who qualifies for being on the ballot should be on the ballot. End of story.
Nobody should be judged guilty of anything just because somebody wants him/her to be guilty. End of story.
Doing what is unconstitutional, unethical, destructive, wrong because that's what the other side does is not fighting back. It is copy cat evil. It will only make things worse and or bring everything down. End of story.
Isn't that exactly how 3rd world nations assume political prisoners Marener?The 14th amendment has no requirement for a conviction. SCOTUS would have to invent requirements not listed. Moreover, requiring convictions would be a weird. It’s never been required when it was used before. Not even Jefferson Davis was convicted.
It just doesn’t make that much sense to require a conviction.
That is so bitterly engraved in granite throughout human history. Movements intended to defeat oppressive government and restore liberties all too often devolve into worse devils than the one they fought. We saw it in Germany with Hitler. We saw it in Russia with Lenin. We saw it in China with Mao.They are fighting fascism with fascism FF
and look at all the brownshirts applauding it!
they've no clue what's at stake.......~S~
Disqualification by the 14th amendment has nothing to do with prison.Isn't that exactly how 3rd world nations assume political prisoners Marener?

Thank you, from the free State of Florida ...
Do it, you clown car shows are in charge of the House. Why such pussies?I'm all for this, especially since Democrats won't let us impeach Biden.

No. You need the a house to impeach. You need 2/3rds of the senate to convict. But no Democrap Senator will vote to convict, you moron.You don't need conviction to impeach and prosecute the case in the Senate.
There is a damn serious case to justify the impeachment investigation. You dimwit.There is no serious case however, just round-about bullshit to feed dupes like you.
Rebellion and insurrection aren't exactly two different things. They're so synonymous, that the criminal code basically uses them together.All those members of the Confederacy including Jefferson Davis fought an armed rebellion against the US Gov't, it WAS literally a rebellion and it would have been pointless to debate otherwise. Rebellion, not Insurrection. There was no question that a rebellion occurred and those who fought in the Civil War were obviously guilty of that. They were not engaged in an effort to overthrow the US Gov't, they wanted to secede from the Union and form their own gov't. I know of no case where anyone was denied the right to run for office under the 14th Amendment for insurrection.
Since no one has ever been convicted of insurrection on Jan 6th, how does one legally declare an insurrection ever took place? Just cuz you and other Lefties say so? One does not assume an insurrection took unless somebody is indicted and convicted of that crime. To date, that has not happened and so legally there was no insurrection. And BTW Trump has not even been indicted for insurrection, yet people like you want to assume that he was guilty and should be denied his civil rights with no due process. That stinks dude.
Potatohead will never win the state of Florida.
Democrats won't let us impeach Biden.
All you need is a majority in the House, which Republicans have.
No. You need the a house to impeach.
TruePrint enough mail-in votes and Biden could win Iran.
Punishing Biden who did nothing, is typical.Good for DeSantis. He needs to have the State Legislators pass a decree whereas Biden has not performed his sworn oath to protect this country from the border invasion and direct the SOS to delete him from the ballot.
