What Colorado's Supreme Court refuses to understand about Trump and the 14th Amendment
On Tuesday, the Colorado Supreme Court issued a decision to block former President Trump from the ballot in the 2024 election.

This is information from attorneys who obviously STUDY the law and the US Constitution.
But even if you don't read this and we know the liberals among us will NOT
There's this little problem:
Trump has never been convicted of insurrection! Yes, as far as I know, you are still presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Nice try, you creepy leftoid idiots

If the 14th Amendment’s Framers had wanted to bar past presidents, who join an insurrection, from ever holding federal office again, they could have easily included "President" in the very same sentence.
Or consider the Appointments Clause in Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution, which states that the President may nominate, and with the advice and consent of the Senate, may appoint "Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States." Under this Clause, the president himself is distinguished from "Officers of the United States." Article II, which establishes the executive branch, specifies that the President is "elected," not appointed, and gives the president the responsibility to "Commission all the Officers of the United States."
Another section, written by attorneys:
The examples where the Constitution distinguishes between the president and an "Officer of the United States" are legion. You need look only at the text of Section 3 itself. It bars insurrectionists from serving as "elector of President and Vice-President."
