CarrierLost , 4 months ago to politics in Trump is disqualified from Illinois ballot, judge rules

I'm just saying that before he's removed there needs to be something official. A legal finding that he did indeed participate in insurrection.

Once that's officially and legally established, then and only then, 14-3 should be invoked.

That’s already happened. There was a finding of fact that Trump participated in insurrection by state of Colorado.

That’s in part why this is the case the USSC has taken up. It is now established legal fact that Trump participated in insurrection, but 14-3 isn’t super clear that it pertains to POTUS, unlike the clarity for Senators and Representatives.

So there’s no question of guilt. That’s established. It’s now a question of applicability.

Agree completely.

SSA retirement age should be the maximum age for a new term. If you hit 67 during a term, you cannot run for another.

SSA will likely be hesitant to shift that number at will, or risk drawing the ire of one of the largest voting blocks: retired persons.
