America is about to make a massive mistake! The U.S. Constitution has a lot of words. I know, it’s seems difficult to read. It’s not. Let’s explore the constitutional problems with Donald Trump as President Elect and why the 2024 Election results are invalid. Let’s explore.

The 14th Amendment

The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is a curious beast. It says a lot of things, but none more important than section 3 below:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Highlights have been added for brevity and clarity. The 14th Amendment describes ALL of the qualifications necessary for a person to run for any elected office. Failing any of these requirements means that the candidate is INELIGIBLE to run. Note this previous statement because it becomes very important to America and the 2024 Election.

January 6th

… is widely understood as an insurrection. It fits all of the qualifications for it. It was violent. It was an uprising. The uprising was against the United States government. The uprising was intended to subvert the will of the voters. The uprising was intended to aid Mr. Trump in remaining in office past his term. The uprising was fomented and incited by Mr. Trump at the ellipse the morning of January 6th.

More than this, Mr. Trump decided to sit idly by for 4 hours and do nothing to stop it. This is aiding and abetting… the very definition of what’s written in the 14th Amendment.

As a result, even Congress was forced to consult with the Supreme Court on whether what Mr. Trump did was considered an insurrection. The problem is, it doesn’t matter what the SCOTUS believes, it only matters what Congress believes.

If Congress was required to ask another authority in the government about Trump’s conduct, then it’s clear that Congress is unclear on Trump’s eligibility. This means that Trump is and should be considered ineligible to run for office until this question is 100% cleared by using the 14th’s prescribed VOTING mechanism. Trump is now considered a “grey area” candidate at this point.

The 14th Amendment is CRYSTAL CLEAR on what is required to ensure any “grey area” candidate is eligible. “But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”

It says it right here in the 14th’s text. Congress may choose by a 2/3rds vote to lift such a disability and make any such “grey area” candidate eligible to run for office. Until such a vote, the candidate must remain ineligible.

Congress failed to vote on this! (IMPORTANT)

Keep in mind that nowhere in the 14th Amendment does it allow or authorize the SCOTUS to chime in on such and make any definitive choices. The ONLY choice given by the 14th is to have Congress VOTE on it. Any questions involving any candidate’s eligibility automatically means that a Congressional VOTE is REQUIRED.

2024 Election

What does all of the above mean for the 2024 election? Let’s break it down.

Since Donald Trump was then and is now an ineligible candidate per the 14th Amendment and because Congress failed to vote on Trump’s eligibility because of his “grey area” status, that means Trump is and remains an illegal candidate on the ballot.

Trump shouldn’t been on the ballot because he’s ineligible due to the failure of Congress to follow the procedures outlined in the 14th Amendment; procedures that are quite crystal clear in their intent and in their required actions.

But the SCOTUS…

The SCOTUS doesn’t play into this. Nowhere in the 14th does it say that the SCOTUS can intervene and offer up their opinion. Think of it this way. The SCOTUS’s opinion is tantamount to you having committed a crime, then asking a judge if they believe you are innocent of the crime.

If a judge gives you their opinion as “innocent”, that doesn’t mean you aren’t still responsible for having committed that crime. That judge’s opinion absolutely DOES NOT let you off of the hook for having committed that crime. It’s just an opinion. What matters is what the LAW says is required.

If the law says you should be indicted and charged, that judge’s opinion absolutely 100% WILL NOT get you out of that predicament. You will still be held accountable for what you did in whatever way the law requires. Talking to a judge absolutely does not get you a “get out of jail free” card no matter what that judge says. The same for the SCOTUS. An opinion is just an opinion. It is 100% not binding. What is binding is what the written law requires.

Election 2024 continued…

Because Trump is a “grey area” candidate due to his involvement in January 6th AND because Congress had questions involving his conduct on January 6th AND because Congress did not rule on Trump’s eligibility, Trump remains ineligible to run for ANY office… period.

Until or unless Congress votes on Trump’s eligibility as the 14th Amendment requires, Trump remains ineligible to be on any ballot.

Let’s break this down further…

Because Trump was on the 2024 ballot as an ineligible candidate, the results of the election are, likewise, invalid. This means that the 2024 Election technically has no winner because the Election results must be tossed out in their entirety. Trump is not the President Elect because the 14th Amendment is clear on this matter. Trump is ineligible.

Kamala Harris is not the winner either because the entire election results must be tossed out entirely. It’s a fraudulent election because an ineligible candidate participated.

Re-Run the Election

Because the 2024 Election results are 100% invalid, the election must be rerun with 100% ELIGIBLE candidates. Trump can only be made eligible by a Congressional vote in both houses. That would need to be done BEFORE any Re-Run election. If the vote fails or if Congress is unable to hold such a vote, then Trump must remain off of the Rerun election ballot.

Accepting an Illegal President

If America moves forward with this illegal Presidential charade, then we are complicit in breaking down the will of the Constitution. The Constitution is completely clear on how candidate eligibility matters need to be handled.

If we accept Donald Trump as President Elect under these ineligible circumstances and accept the results of this invalid election, America will have voted in its first ILLEGAL President in U.S. History. It also means the Constitution is null and void. Democracy is dead if we proceed here.

Technicality

Technicalities matter and this one matters a great deal to both America and the United States Constitution. Do we stand with the Constitution and uphold it? OR, do we stand with Donald Trump and vote against our Constitution?

Because Congress made a procedural faux pas in this matter, it is on Congress to right this wrong. In fact, it’s on the entirety of the United States Government leaders to stand up for our Constitution and call the 2024 Election invalid and require a re-run election.

Let’s do the right thing here! OR, there’s no stepping back from this precipice! We are at America’s decision gate and most of us don’t even know it. There is a short amount of time to correct our course here, but it requires ALL Americans and all American Leaders to bring attention to this situation regardless of their partisanship.

Trump can still be America’s President, but it must be voted on in the Constitutionally correct way.
