House Republicans exploring ways to prevent Mamdani from being sworn in as NYC mayor if he wins on Election Day

[Man With A Plan]

I think Hochul will have a line that can't be crossed.

She's a Dem but not a Dem Socialist.

She's a politician...and right now Democratic politicians are scared shitless by the far left.

I think she would be more worried of NYC pulling a Chicago and that blight festering to the rest of the State.

Politicians worry about getting reelected. Everything else is secondary.

If NYC truly goes down the shitter, and she had the power to stop it, her not doing it will not get her re-elected.

If NYC truly goes down the shitter, and she had the power to stop it, her not doing it will not get her re-elected.

If she was truly interested in policies that work she wouldn't have governed as she has for two terms. She'll let NYC go down the tubes because that's what the far left wants and they run the Democratic Party at the moment.

House Republicans are exploring ways to prevent Zohran Mamdani from ever being sworn in as mayor if he prevails in Tuesday’s election by using the US Constitution’s “insurrection clause,” The Post has learned.

The New York Young Republican Club is pushing to prevent the NYC mayoral front-runner from taking the oath of office Jan. 1 under an idea floated this summer.

It cites language in the post-Civil War 14th Amendment to the Constitution barring from office anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or who has “given aid or comfort to the enemies” of the nation. The group argues that Mamdani’s own statements calling to resist ICE could violate the prohibition.


“There is a real and legitimate push to see the insurrectionist Zohran Mamdani either a) removed from the ballot or b) removed from office if he is to win on Tuesday,” Stefano Forte, president of the New York Young Republicans, told The Post.

Republican lawmakers are keyed in on the idea and are considering rolling out legislation on it once the government shutdown ends, sources told The Post.

It’s the same provision Colorado used to try to kick former President Donald Trump off the ballot last year, only to get slapped down by the Supreme Court. The high court ruled that it was up to Congress to enforce the amendment, giving majority Republicans a chance to test their authority.

Proponents would like to see a congressional vote on declaring Mamdani ineligible, although that would mean getting it through the narrow 219-213 Republican House majority and overcoming a Senate filibuster should leaders decide to bring it to the floor.

It would also have to survive any court challenge to removing a popularly elected official. But it would create a political wedge that would force Democrats to vote either for or against a socialist whom President Trump is eager to turn into a national foil for MAGA.


The effort would come after the election, and only after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) brings lawmakers back from an extended recess during the government shutdown.

also I did a piece on him perjuring himself if sworn in.

Rubio born in Miami, Cruz Canada, so I don't care, he can be replaced
Democrats have 26 non American born in congress, Republicans 6, get rid of them all
If their Parents are citizens who were serving abroad when they were born i have no issue

So Sad, Too bad.... the Constitution does not agree with you.

There are no restrictions serving in elected office for Naturalized Citizens, except for President.

The Constitution won't let you change that, without a Constitutional amendment.

Are you all just clueless on our own Constitution?

Who said we we can't have a constitutional amendment, I completely understand what the constitution currently says, it should happen post haste, we have people here serving there own countries good and not ours

From my view in NYC she's a moderate progressive Dem. We could have gotten worse as the current election has shown us.

Sounds like they want to pinch the Democrat's padt tactics

I think Hochul will have a line that can't be crossed.

She's a Dem but not a Dem Socialist.

Clueless Kathy has already indicated she will not approve any tax hike or fare elimination on the MTA. She also has problems of her own now that Elise Stepinak has declared her candidacy.

 

[Lisa558]

And he'll have another willing partner in Governor Kathy Hochul. There won't be an adult in the room to stop the nonsense...right up until they run out of money and start demanding that the Federal Government bail them out. THAT is when it's going to get hilarious!

It’s a good thing that the NYC mayoral race was a year before the Governor race. That gives NYers enough time to see the damage that occurs when an anti-American Islamic communist takes power and realize how screwed up the Democrats are.

Elise wins.
