He is constitutionally ineligible to run for a third term. He can post all the slop he wants, it doesn’t change that fact.
Should he actually file to run again, the States (who actually run the elections) are within their rights to deny the application. Should some states let him run anyway, that will be challenged by voters (and perhaps by candidates). His campaign would fight those denials, and courts should just dismiss the candidacy out of hand, but some courts have made batshit crazy rulings before.
Even if all the courts rule against him, though, I am not aware of any statute that says it’s illegal to say you will run in an election you might be Ineligible for. If anything, courts will uphold that as free speech.
Remember when some states tried to remove him from the ballot because he caused an insurrection? And the Supreme Court just said that’s not allowed. I have a feeling the same will happen if he runs a third time.
These rulings are also showing us legality means nothing unless there are people there to enforce it. Time and time again the administration has done something blatantly illegal and then caused irreparable damage while the “courts” figured it out and “stopped” them. This administration has been absolutely enlightening on the entire judicial system.
That clause did have some genuine problems. There was no objective metric.
Do you remember when Abbott started calling the situation at the border an “invasion” of “military-age” brown men? Texas was getting ready to toss Biden off the ballot for “aiding an invasion” if Trump was forced off the ballot for insurrection.
It should be. But that’s not how western nations handle political crimes, it would seem.
I’d probably support a future where the ICC can impeach a sitting president, along with another capacity somewhere for foreign states to remove our sitting president.
I’d like to see a stronger ability to sanction companies, too. Not just the people in the company, but the company itself. Like limiting the volume of power that a data center can consume, if it acts in bad faith.
Isn’t that illegal and punishable with prison time?
You mean like pedophilia, accepting bribes and 34 other felonies?
You think anyone in the 1930s was saying, “wait, genocide is illegal Adolf!”?
“Not legal” does not always mean criminal.
