    Doesn’t that put the 14th and 5th in conflict? I made the assumption that due process (5th) was assumed/required when the 14th was written.

      being disqualified from an office is not covered by the 5th amendment

      people under 35 are not being held out of office of the president for some crime.

      It’s a civil matter, not a criminal one.

      Requiring congress to vote to not allow him to run is legally the same as requiring congress to vote to not let allow a 5 year old to run. Neither Trump nor the 5 year old should have to be proven ineligible They’re simply not, under the law as written.

      SCOTUS are a bunch of political hacks and they should be charged with aiding and abetting an insurrectionist.
