Listen up this is from conservative law professors. However, I say let him run for POTUS from prison and lose badly to Biden again.
According To The Constitution Trump Cannot Hold Public Office After Jan 6 Insurrection

Amazing because CNN just happened to run the same segments this weekend. Probably the same pundits too.
And as Y2K alluded too, the Scotus will arbitrate this.
Basically through several segments(I'm in the USA right now so had it on in the background),this various law professors all declared him guilty and the a trial, even a civil one, was needed to just get it done. A bunch o old white men, academics of privilege, all incensed at the entire thing.
I don't think either they really get or care just how messy it could get.

I'm sure everybody "gets how messy it could get".
It's also novel territory. The 14th A was drafted to prevent Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis running for office again in 1866 and re-seceding the Confederacy all over again. No one foresaw an idiot like Trump trying to overthrow the government and then actually having support from his moron "base" and running for office again.
Nothing will stop Donald Trump from being the president in 2024.
Not if Putin, MBS and their collective bots have anything to say about it.
You could possibly see a civil war with the illiterate MAGA goons and the rest of the country.
A massive coronary might do the trick. Keep those McDonalds gift cards coming, folks!!
The law plus the lack of votes will take care of that
I think Trump will probably get fewer votes than Biden. But that's just the beginning of the fun!
Dems will likely move to enjoin Trump from running for president when he gets the GOP nom citing the 14th Amendment. GOP will argue that Trump needs to be found guilty at trial. Total new area in law.
Either Trump or Biden could die. They're both too old for this.
Trump could be found guilty before Election Day and attempt to run from jail. If elected, he will "pardon himself". Dems will challenge this because - well, seriously! Do I need to explain a reason?!

It's an interpretation of Section 3 of the 14th amendment.
An argument by conservative legal minds that an "originalist" reading of that amendment bars Trump from office.
That's what he and his followers thought about 2020. They all thought even losing the election wasn't going to be enough to keep him from being president.
In any case, a federal judge and a constitutional lawyer and more reliable than random posters in terb and they say otherwise.
I expect that rocketmortgage is one of the MAGA types that also says rump is actually president right now.
In which case he'll say he's president in 2028 and probably up until his death.
Cults are weird that way.
This notion of letting the people decide criminality is bizarre, and the logic makes nomsense.
"Let the people decide in an election."
They did. He lost. He tried to overthrow the will of the people. So, as Lindsay Graham says, lets not prosecute him, but let him try again. And, if he loses and tries another coup d'etat, let's not prosecute. Let's let him run again until he finally gets the coup correct.
Sorry. One and done on subverting democracy.

And right on cue, Newsom moves to ban Trump from running in CA...
