This is what happens in Commie countries. When the ruling elite don't like someone he's removed from the ballot.

But then, the Dems love Communism. Just ask Bill Clinton, who pardoned the Commie terrorist convicted of bombing Capitol Hill - Susan Rosenberg, who not so long ago sat on the board of BLM.

Besides, the Dems should be asked how democracy can be saved by destroying it.

Oh, I see. Yes, so unfair. In America, a prez must:

A. Be over 35.
B. Have not engaged in any insurrection against the US of A, and
C. Be born in America.

That's all. The last one's the one a certain DJ Trump tried to have Oba-ma deregistered for, remember?

So I'm curious. Was the big fella a dirty commie too?

Cheers.

Indeed.

If wombat and his fellow MAGAs want to ignore the constitution when it states that candidates for President must not have engaged in insurrection, are they also willing to ignore the parts that say candidates must be a natural born citizen, must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years, and that they must be at least 35 years of age?

Or, does the MAGA crowd want to cherry-pick parts of the constitution to suit their own needs?

Would wombat be okay with a 20-year-old Chinese citizen, who has only lived in the USA for 3 months, running for POTUS?

I'm curious.

Anyone?

Quote:

say candidates must be a natural born citizen

This is article 2 of the constitution, it is over written by clause 1 of the 14th amendment.

Quote:

14 th - Section 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

This is saying that a naturalised American has all the rights and protections of a US born citizen.

You cannot have all the rights if you don't have all the rights. This effectivly amends the second article of the constitution.

Maine’s Democrat Secretary of State Threatened with Impeachment for Keeping Trump Off Ballot

Maine’s head election official is in hot water after deciding to bar former President Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot.

The Associated Press (AP) reported Friday that at least one Republican lawmaker has promised to move toward impeachment against Democrat Secretary of State Shenna Bellows.

According to Breitbart News, she apparently does not possess a law degree and has also substituted YouTube videos for due process.

The recent AP article continued:

Bellows said Friday that she had no comment on the impeachment effort, but said she was duty-bound by state law to make a determination on three challenges brought by registered Maine voters. She reiterated that she suspended her decision pending an anticipated appeal by Trump in Superior Court.

“Under Maine law, I have not only the authority but the obligation to act,” she said. “I will follow the Constitution and the rule of law as directed by the courts,” she added.

On Thursday, Bellows determined that Trump was ineligible to appear on the state’s ballot, Breitbart News reported.

Republicans were outraged at Bellows’ move to disqualify Trump. However, the decision will not advance until the United States Supreme Court rules on the issue, the outlet said Friday:

Absolutely.

And just imagine: if he committed a few more crimes, raped a few more women, and stole a few more million from kids' cancer charities, he might actually have a chance of winning the popular vote in a general election.

Oh, but of course, he's not going to face a general election ever again, according to you - you still claim that Meatball Ron will be the GOP candidate Grin

The charges were bought by a group of republicans. Maine’s Secretary of State was named in the charge. It was her decision to make. She had no option and got it right.

Incorrect.

The consensus of non-binding sources that I've read so far seems to overwhelmingly agree with you, but they all seem to agree firmly that the US Supreme Court holds the Absolute Key.

SCOTUS has the final say, & if they agree with the Colorado Supreme Court it's over. Trump is finished, but.....

If SCOTUS rules that the lower court's interpretation is not valid/in error.....that their decision was either political or the 14 Amendment doesn't apply, & Trump must be reinstated to the ballot, not only does Trump win his appeal, but there is a groundswell of support country-wide just waiting the outcome of this appeal, where many predict the democrats would be toast in the 2024 election regardless of who wins the Republican Primary.

We shall see what we see after the SCOTUS decision, & if Trump succeeds in the appeal, it's off to the Primaries & onto the final election in November.........

So why aren't the GOP and Republican voters backing him?

If Meatball can win the White House back for them this year, why are they still supporting the rapist?
