Former President Donald Trump is arguing to a judge in Colorado that he was not required to "support" the Constitution as president, reported Brandi Buchman from Law & Crime.

The argument came as he seeks to dismiss a lawsuit filed in the state by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), seeking to have him disqualified from the ballot in the state under the 14th Amendment. The Insurrection Clause of the amendment prohibits those who have "engaged in insurrection" against the United States from holding a civil, military, or elected office without unless a two-thirds majority of the House and Senate approve.

But Trump's lawyers are arguing that the specific language of the Constitution argues that this requirement only applies to people in offices who are bound to "support" the Constitution — and the presidency is not one of those offices.


This is totally bizarre! If the President of the United States isn't required to support the Constitution - then who is? What do you think?
 
With his hand on the Bible, Trump swore the following oath:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Ok, so firstly, your title is misleading, trump himself didn’t say this, it was his lawyers, just for clarification.

Secondly, where did rawstory get the article, they only link to a tweet by some other lady who has a segment of some text but doesn’t really say where she got it from. Does anyone have a link to the actual full text of the filing document that his lawyers filed?

Also, rawstory is the only one to run this story?

He should be barred just for making that argument!

He damn sure did have a requirement, as that was the oath he was required to take to be sworn into the job. What a sleazebag sonovobitch!

Please provide credible proof of your claims - with context.

You're KIDDING, right, jackhole?

That's like asking a survivor of the Dachau concentration camp for proof that Hitler mistreated prisoners.

You assholes are all alike, the question is whether you were BORN stupid and mental or made it a conscious life choice?
 
Duh, ain't the 14th Amendment part of the U.S. Constitution?

Any lie to stop Trump.

Russia collusion.
