A Chalmette resident has filed paperwork in a Baton Rouge court, challenging Donald Trump's placement on the ballot next year.
In her Petition, the Louisiana voter says that the Secretary of State must "apply the Constitutionally-required disqualification of a Constitutionally-disqualified candidate."
She's asking that his name be removed from the presidential preference primary, which happens in March; that's the primary that is only for people who are registered in a particular party. In other words, only registered Republicans vote on the Republicans who want to be President.
"Petitioner asserts that Trump is disqualified from the office which he seeks under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution which states “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof," the petition states.
The petition alleges that "both Trump’s actions (engaging in insurrection) as well as his inaction (giving aid and comfort to insurrectionists) on January 6, 2021 disqualify him from holding any office of/under the United States," citing his January 2021 impeachment for "high crimes and misdemeanors" by the U.S. House, which accused him of "inciting violence against the Government of the United States”
The petition argues that no criminal conviction is required for this action, since the "disqualification is not putative and therefore does not require any criminal conviction. Its execution is automatic in the same way that not meeting the explicit qualifications is automatically disqualifying. Further, it supersedes any claim of First Amendment protection."
We have reached out to Trump's media office and will update this story with their response as soon as it is received.
He has not been convicted therefore the point is moot.
Only the president can declare insurrection. Tell them to suck that.
No one including Trump have been charged w insurrection
Trump’s “go home” tweet (end of day Jan 6) was likely the last part of the Insurrection Act, but it was the FBI, Deep State, and ANTIFA engaged in insurrection. Unclear how/if this will be used in the future.
I believe the Insurrection Act was invoked at some point when FBI operatives did not stand down and were going after protesters between Jan 6 and Jan 20.

Name the resident.
YES
So why aren't there pushes from our side to disqualify Democrats from ballots all across the land? If we managed to get that ball rolling, the Dimwit Party would suddenly realize what they have set in motion.
They are likely trying to get some “help” by us to remove Biden. Biden is best candidate for Trump to go against, leave the retarded assclown in place and beat him like a drum. Impeach if needed, but do not remove. And give him extra security. Keep that MFer alive and in place even if you have to do it Weekend at Bernie-style.
Qualifications to be President are clearly defined in the Constitution. No additional qualifications can be added without an Amendment. SCOTUS shreds this retarded shit.
Trump has not been charged with nor convicted on insurrection. He was POTUS, Chief Executive, CIC, and Chief Magistrate at the time of alleged insurrection, so he would have allegedly incited an insurrection against himself in order to overthrow himself in order to take power he already possessed? Plus President specifically excluded from 14th Amendment.
It never stops being so appalling that someone does this while turning a blind eye to Biden and pals.
When reading this clause in the 14th, the phrase "given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof" always strikes me as what will be revealed as the relevant part. In a boomerang sort of way.
Those engaged in treason will meet a traitors fate but there are literally millions whose crimes dont rise to the level of treason. This will keep them out of our future government at any level.
