The Office of the President is run by the CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER of the United States. Not only is he an "Officer" but the verbiage specifically mentions an "Executive" in the Article 3 description. Somehow everyone seems to glaze over this word. And given that the judges dealing with the nomenclature are looking at specific terminology since obvious DJT IS ineligible, the title description of "Executive" is the second criteria dismissing DJT from being on any ballot.
18 U.S. Code §2383: "Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States." Even if by some wild stretch of the imagination Trump wasn't an Officer or swore an Oath to the US Constitution, he still has violated US law. Trump is very clearly disqualified from Office by GOP rules 25 26 27, House Rep rule 23 Section 10, 18 USC §2383, 14th Amendment Section 3. GOP, Democrat, & House Rep rules clearly state that members who are indicted or convicted for a felony are expelled/ineligible from the Party or House Rep of the US, & is obligated to resign. Trump has violated his own Party's & the House Rep rules, American law, & the US Constitution. _"The Presidential Records Act (PRA) changed the legal status of Presidential and Vice Presidential materials. _*_Under the PRA, the official records of the President and his staff are owned by the United States, not by the President._* _The Archivist is required to take custody of these records when the President leaves office, and to maintain them in a Federal depository._ _These records are eligible for access under FOIA five years after the President leaves office._ _The President may restrict access to specific kinds of information for up to 12 years after he leaves office, but then records are reviewed for FOIA exemptions only._ _This legislation took effect on January 20, 1981, and the records of the Reagan administration were the first to be administered under this law."_ - National Archives official website Plus if you did any civil due diligence you would know that Trump broke the Presidential Records Act & many election, tax, & business fraud laws. Trump's "aMErica First" global economic war caused many international sanctions against America, Trump's COVID recession, inflation, & unemployment, also raising US national debt by $8 TRILLION, RussiaGate, Afghanistan deal, more drone strikes than Obama, tax cuts for the rich, & many other Trump secret wars & international fraudulent activity hidden from America. Unfaithful twice impeached, six times corporate bankrupt bank bailed, cowardly draft-dodging, tax-dodging, unfaithful womanising civil convicted r×pist, civil convicted tax & business fraudster, demented physically mentally & psychologically unsound wannabe dictator Trump tanked his grandmother's business, the GOP, & most of America. Trump was literally laughed out of the United Nations & NATO. Trump caused many international sanctions against the US, & small undeveloped countries had more trading partners than Trump's America. Trump caused all the current international geopolitical & economic destabilisation (including global inflation...). Remember what the definition of insanity is... If you can't see Trump's tendency to inflate everything you are 'insane'.
@user-xj5rr3le2w irrelevant comment. trump is a traitor to the constitution by being involved in the 7 state fake elector scheme to illegally remain in power. deal with it.
Marc. You are so important to US and Western Democracy more generally. Gerrymandering is so evil. I am an Aussie. One of our state's (QLD) was gerrymandered for two decades. The Premier - Jo Bjelke Petersen was a complete madman. Removing this evil from democracies is so important. Good work mate!
Gerrymandering has to stop. It's beyond ridiculous and anyone who wants it does not believe they can win on policy. They have to CHEAT! MAGA has to be stopped to save democracy. If the US falls... chaos will ensue.. wars takeovers etc.
And we had a similar gerrymander here in Western Australia in our upper house until about five years ago. The conservatives had always held a majority in the upper house until the Liberal Party here imploded, partly because they had been infested with far right extremist evangelicals (similar to those in the US).
It's a constant battle. As soon as you let your guard down, they do it again. This is part of human nature and how we jockey for political power. Quite certain ancient Egypt had similar problems. It's important to keep fighting for democracy. I live in Chicago and people tell me, "Chicago is so corrupt! They keep arresting people for corruption!" And my reply is, "That's great! I'd be much more worried if the never arrested anyone for corruption!"
He should have been put in jail along time ago but vote Harris in and she will open that case again and put him away lololoooool after all she’s a Prosecutor and a Lawyer of high level vote for Harris she will free you.
Your team and everyone of the subscribers and patrons are the fighters for democracy! It's smart to file them all and at the SAME time! This is fantastic. I hope these judges grow a PAIR of BALLS and follow our 14th amendment!!!!
I don't know how Section 3 couldn't apply to a person who previously took the oath as president. Especially considering the Equal Protection Clause is at the end of Section 1.
Right now, Congress is too full of election deniers /insurrection supporters that to hope that would support amendments to support democracy is probably a nonstarter 😒
We all need to stick together and vote Donald Trump out.If you don't vote him out, you won't have a democracy.He will take your rights away and that's the truth he is in court telling all kinds of lies
Nope. Not even on the horizon. Merrick Garland has exclusive and total control and has opened.no investigations of sitting republicans. He won't unless he is forced to do so. Just like the way he blocked all investigations of Trump for two years.
@@BennilocoLovesthank you. Amazing this is the first time I've seen someone post this regarding terrorist don, but been thinking the same. Mass protest, or mass strike.
No indictment of GOP US Representatives and Senators needed. Just a finding that they opposed the peaceful transfer of power and thereby rebelled against the constitution and/or gave aid and comfort to enemies of the constitution. That would disqualify them and remove them.
What else can we do to help besides subscribing? Is there a fund where we can donate. I'm from Florida and we're drowning in GQP gerrymandered tyranny.
This woman is brilliant and she cares about all people! I hope that she continues her journey and that someday soon is elected our first woman in the office of the President! Keep up the amazing leadership!
Thank you Mark Elias and your team for your tireless efforts on keeping the Democracy of America. I appreciate your efforts and the wealth of information of Voting Rights and what we as Americans citizens can do to help.
I would like to speak about good faith actors. If the Republican elected congressmen and Senators had acted in good faith we would not be here now. I have heard it mentioned that they privately don’t support Donald Trump and are afraid for their families and their personal safety. I hope that we don’t allow these bad faith actors to remain in power. They put their self and their families above the oath of office to protect the Constitution and the people they were elected to represent. Yes I am ready as a citizen to stand up for what is right.
It's the base. Those people were given permission to be the worst of us. 1 man has divided families & caused a violent mob to break into your highest gov't building. And he is exactly what his followers want. They think he's honest & will save America. They are frightening. 🇨🇦
Very well said. Yes, Mr. Marc Elias THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO AMERICA, OUR CONSTITUTION, AND DEMOCRACY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FIGHT. VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY, GREEN AND FREEDOM. VOTE TRUE BLUE. 💙💯💚👍😇
You have every reason to be concerned. I’m on the inside and this scares me a lot. Americans are advocating things which are the opposite of our founding principles and thinking that they are “patriots.” I am nearly 70 and am appalled that one of our main political parties has become anti-American.
The worst possible situation would be for scotus to kick it back to individual states. Red states will keep him on the ballot. Blue states remove him and in reducing the threat he poses, suppress dem turnout and lose downballot races they would otherwise have won.
Thank you for being warriors of truth, and for shining light on these issues! Your critically important work provides a lifeline for those who hope for better times.
Knowing that there are people like you and your colleagues out there fighting for democracy for all gives me hope for a better future for my grandchildren. Thank you for all you do and I thank Brian Tyler Cohen for leading me to you.
One thing that our Founding Fathers always assumed was that their Constitution would forever be interpreted by judges and justices that were actually sane or, at the very least, in possession of an ability to reason and a love for democracy. Unfortunately, those assumptions have repeatedly been proven wrong, especially lately.
You are correct in that the USSC is using really old laws that were and are not relevant to the modern times that we are passing through and it's suspicious that the justices are using such bullshit reasoning. The three liars that the Senate confirmed are exactly what the GOP needed. A course correction is necessary with term limits and an enforceable code of ethics not based on scriptures from ancient times. The separation of church and state is not going to get us any closer if it's not enforced.
If they returned tomorrow, they would be shocked that a document they wrote in _the 18th century,_ had barely changed at all, and these "judges" are still twisting themselves into pretzels interpreting the language of the 1700s, when they expected it would be a _living_ document.
Definitely!!! He must be removed from the ballot. His actions or conducts speaks for itself. He is absolutely unfit for the presidential office. He has done nothing constructive during his last four year term in office.
Absolutely agree. All he ever did for four years was struggle and chest his way around a golf course. Couldn't even managed more than a double bogey on every hole
A unanimous Supreme Court decided this issue back in March. Congress enforces the 14th Amendment, including Sec. 3. The failure of Congress to attempt to enforce Sec. 3, means Trump remains on the ballot. Period. So says BOTH the liberal and conservative members of SCOTUS.
@@manueldaniel2654 The United States Supreme Court decided this issue last March. States are NOT authorized to enforce Sec. 3 of the 14th Amendment. Period. States cannot keep Trump off Presidential ballots.
@@manueldaniel2654hes said that from day one...in 2016 .. Whaaa I didn't win the popular vote as well as the electoral college!! Yet the electoral college voted him back out !!
I don't believe he has a Felony conviction. He has been ruled responsible (E. Jean Carroll case), but that is a Civil case and not criminal which would allow for a Felony or Misdemeanor conviction. If he is convicted in the Documents or Election Interference cases (of which the Georgia Election Interference case includes RICO) then that would lead to a Felony. Those would definitely disqualify him, and why he is trying to delay them so long so he can try to get back into the White House so he can pardon himself.
That's debatable. If he gets back in the WH he'll probably do away with the 'only 2 terms" thing. He wants to be like Putin where nothing could get him out but death. He's talking about building detention camps for mass deportations for God's sake! He wants to pull out of NATO and rewrite tha constitution. Imagine what that would be like! Him getting another term would keep him in office indefinitely and screw us up even after he's gone.
As a constitutional lawyer, with over 60 years of experience in state and federal court, I am eating the story up, like a fresh custard pie made by my grandmother🎉
The fact that this is even in question says everything and more about the republicans. His making it this far is a perfect example of the republican party being anything but the party of law and order. Their losing streak is just going to continue until they ditch trump and the rest of the weirdos.
The Colorado judge is incorrect, maybe because her and her family’s lives have been threatened. I hope the other judges have more courage to do the right thing! 🤬
Thank you. Now I get why the Minnesota and Michigan courts ruled, or rather didn’t rule, in the way they did. All this talk about ‘punting’ made my brain shut down. I don’t do team sports - except for democracy, which is both a team sport and a contact sport. A whole lot like rugby, to be honest.
How is it fair to the other candidates with the courts not getting the issues around Trump's eligibility resolved in a timely fashion? Not that I think much of the other candidates personally, but it's just not right. The 14th amendment is clear, the facts are clear, it is time to cut the crap for the sake of we the people.
Marc Elias is the embodiment of a true patriot. Thank you Marc for this frightening podcast. These are scary times. You’ve motivated me to gently wade back into discussions with family & friends who generally live in their own comfy bubble. It must be done or live to regret it. Thank you sir for your service.
Sorry. Trump WILL remain on the ballot. And he will win for the third time 2024. NSA has all the official 2020 voters and lots of people are going to he shocked over their evil works.
@@massivemindmeat Communism, Socialism and Fascism are all tenets of the same ideology. Europe never tried anything like American Constitutionalism. You assuming that you are better educated than me is pretty funny. Have any more funnies you want to make princess?
I have been saying it since January 6th . The 14th amendment section 3 is the correct law 😮. And everyone involved in the planning of January 6th needs to be held accountable for their acción😮.
I have to , it ridiculous that it's taking this long to even think that he might be innocent . Innocent people don't keep delaying court cases when your innocent !
I've seen people commenting that they've gotten PTSD because of Von Shitzenpants.. Enough people...enough proof... enough legal fees... What could stop you..??
Just who all and how many congressman and/or senators went to the jail to give aid and comfort to the insurrectionists? Wasn't there a group that went to offer their support to the insurrectionists? Wouldn't that bar them from seeking public office? 14th amendment stuff?
@@massivemindmeat Trump was saying that even people poorly educated by the government schools also deserve love and respect. You have disdain for the poorly educated, and the government does educate poorly. School vouchers will really help educate people.
Love the show! Marc, I find you very informative, especially when it comes to election law. You're truly trustworthy and honest, something we need more of these days. Thank you!
Democracy is so fragile. Thank you for defense of it, and for your concise explanations of it's workings. Everyone needs to read our Constitution, and it needs to be followed.
After all of the damage that the Republican Criminal Organization has caused it will take a while to correct and make sure that it'll get better. Soon enough there will be a better political party that actually cares about the truth and honesty and the Constitution and then maybe change will occur and take us all to to better times. Everything takes time when there's a political party that serves themselves and the big-money donors who own them.
Judges need to quit ignoring and condoning Republican insurrectionists and/or rebels. MAGA is still rebelling against the United States with apparent impunity. This must end yesterday!
@@janicenelson7639They cannot, you’re asking too much. They have no legitimate case or argument so it’s all deflection, projection and false equivalency ‘til the cows come home.
I love your work Marc and team. It is so important and so worthwhile. I hope everyone finds some way to supporting you and your team’s work, however possible.

Is there any Judge out there anywhere that is willing and has the balls to uphold the Constitution?
Yes. It’s the cornerstone of their role and profession.
That Colorado ruling was a disgrace.

I feel if any judge who rules to keep trump on the ballots should be considered as aiding and abetting to the conspiring of the Jan 6 insurrection.

That's debatable. If he gets back in the WH he'll probably do away with the 'only 2 terms" thing. He wants to be like Putin where nothing could get him out but death. He's talking about building detention camps for mass deportations for God's sake! He wants to pull out of NATO and rewrite tha constitution. Imagine what that would be like! Him getting another term would keep him in office indefinitely and screw us up even after he's gone.
As told by Liz Cheney...
As a constitutional lawyer, with over 60 years of experience in state and federal court, I am eating the story up, like a fresh custard pie made by my grandmother🎉
Did Trump want a violent event? Without it, there is no insurrection. Will have to get him at the ballot box.
Thank you Marc for breaking down these disqualification cases into components and explaining them so clearly😊
Thank you for all you do!!!!!!!!
Poor Hunter should come clean so dad doesn't need to pardon him. Problem, he would have to turn on family.
The fact that this is even in question says everything and more about the republicans. His making it this far is a perfect example of the republican party being anything but the party of law and order. Their losing streak is just going to continue until they ditch trump and the rest of the weirdos.
He should. have ALREADY. BEEN DROPPED FROM RUNNING ??? AN INSURRECTIONIST SHOULDNT EVER BE ELIGABLE. ...PERIOD !!!!
Thank you Mark and Team! Never give up. 💙
The Colorado judge is incorrect, maybe because her and her family’s lives have been threatened. I hope the other judges have more courage to do the right thing! 🤬
People died he should be accountable now.!!!
Thank you for your hard work protecting our democracy!
Thank you. Now I get why the Minnesota and Michigan courts ruled, or rather didn’t rule, in the way they did. All this talk about ‘punting’ made my brain shut down. I don’t do team sports - except for democracy, which is both a team sport and a contact sport. A whole lot like rugby, to be honest.
And there's no punting in rugby!! I'm also at sea when they talk in those terms.
Thank you for all you do for America.
Love the Democracy Docket! Rock on Marc!
How is it fair to the other candidates with the courts not getting the issues around Trump's eligibility resolved in a timely fashion? Not that I think much of the other candidates personally, but it's just not right. The 14th amendment is clear, the facts are clear, it is time to cut the crap for the sake of we the people.
Great piece!!! Thank you for your great work defending democracy
Marc Elias is the embodiment of a true patriot. Thank you Marc for this frightening podcast. These are scary times. You’ve motivated me to gently wade back into discussions with family & friends who generally live in their own comfy bubble. It must be done or live to regret it. Thank you sir for your service.
YES! He most definitely should NOT be on the ballot ... no gray area here!
Trump taken off the ballot would be good for our country, therefore it will never happen. This is America
Sorry. Trump WILL remain on the ballot. And he will win for the third time 2024. NSA has all the official 2020 voters and lots of people are going to he shocked over their evil works.
Ok fascist.
@@imperialmotoring3789should ask for a dictionary for Christmas. After all,he doesn't call you guys uneducated all the time for no reason.😂
@@massivemindmeat Communism, Socialism and Fascism are all tenets of the same ideology.
Europe never tried anything like American Constitutionalism.
You assuming that you are better educated than me is pretty funny. Have any more funnies you want to make princess?
They are all cowards! If only the rest of us could avoid our JOB cuz may it not be needed.
Love what you do...
Thank you guys for your hard work in keeping us informed...🙏👍
I have been saying it since January 6th .
The 14th amendment section 3 is the correct law 😮.
And everyone involved in the planning of January 6th needs to be held accountable for their acción😮.
... by removal from office or barred from office - clear and plain English!
@@dandavis4469 right on target.,It's written so it is meant to be applied at the right moment in time.
@jamesrkarolchyk1440 yes., this is the 21st century
And what 45 and Republicans did is a plan to overthrow our government.
The Green Bay sweep!
I have to , it ridiculous that it's taking this long to even think that he might be innocent . Innocent people don't keep delaying court cases when your innocent !
Thank you, Marc Elias! Thank you for all that you have done and continue doing! Bravo, young man! 👏
Thank you! You are a hero!
Could the general population file a class action lawsuit against 45 for harming American Democracy and causing us pain and anguish?
I've seen people commenting that they've gotten PTSD because of Von Shitzenpants..
Enough people...enough proof... enough legal fees...
What could stop you..??
We should be able to
And PTSD!
Fear and anxiety. I don't know how he could be on the ballot.
@paulgrieger8182 - That's a great idea. Is there any good lawyers out there to get the ball rolling?
Thank you very much for caring enough to save our democracy and informing us of what is going on!!
Just who all and how many congressman and/or senators went to the jail to give aid and comfort to the insurrectionists? Wasn't there a group that went to offer their support to the insurrectionists? Wouldn't that bar them from seeking public office? 14th amendment stuff?
What would prevent those that opened the border to invasion from running? I know they should all be in prison.
MTG went to visit them. I'm not sure about anyone else.
@@ceceliavoss9174 Hopefully Trump will pardon all of them.
@@imperialmotoring3789bro, you're kinda out here showing everyone why chump refers to his supporters as "the uneducated."
@@massivemindmeat Trump was saying that even people poorly educated by the government schools also deserve love and respect. You have disdain for the poorly educated, and the government does educate poorly. School vouchers will really help educate people.
Thank you team for staying on top of this mess and educating us about what is happening and what we can do.
Thank you Mark for fighting for democracy in the USA.
From Canada.
Love the show! Marc, I find you very informative, especially when it comes to election law. You're truly trustworthy and honest, something we need more of these days. Thank you!
I really appreciate your work , thanks for explaining things in lay terms
Stay focused, stay hopeful, and don't give up no matter how crazy things get. We cannot allow him back in our Whitehouse again. 🇺🇲🇺🇲💙💙
Democracy is so fragile. Thank you for defense of it, and for your concise explanations of it's workings. Everyone needs to read our Constitution, and it needs to be followed.
I'm actually concerned about the United States system failing.
it has already failed
Yes because our courts so far have created this monster 45 by not ever holding him accountable.
Yes, the open border is killing our Republic.
After all of the damage that the Republican Criminal Organization has caused it will take a while to correct and make sure that it'll get better. Soon enough there will be a better political party that actually cares about the truth and honesty and the Constitution and then maybe change will occur and take us all to to better times. Everything takes time when there's a political party that serves themselves and the big-money donors who own them.
It’s working. YOUR JOB IS TO VOTE.
The DOJ took too long to prosecute him. After he was impeached and they sent the referral, should’ve started the process right then
Absolutely the best discussion of this topic as it now stands. Thanks.
We need to ENFORCE the Constitution to deter someone else from thinking it is Ok to do what Trump did cause they might succeed in their Çoup!
Judges need to quit ignoring and condoning Republican insurrectionists and/or rebels. MAGA is still rebelling against the United States with apparent impunity. This must end yesterday!
Enforce the constitution but ok to pack the Supreme Court.
@@walterski8377 < Stay on topic.
@@janicenelson7639They cannot, you’re asking too much. They have no legitimate case or argument so it’s all deflection, projection and false equivalency ‘til the cows come home.
Totally agree 😊
Absolutely! He should’ve in jail, not running for president! How sick!
Thank you please continue to keep us informed 👏
Thank you so much for your hard work to protect our democracy. Marc, you are such a hero.
I like over 1/2 of what you say. There is no risk with Donald Trump. Biden crime family finally in the news.
We are not a democracy we are a Republic
It means the same
I learn more every time I watch Democracy Docket on UA-cam, including with Brian Tyler Cohen.
These Marc and Paige explainer videos, add context to legal questions that the media can not. Thank you.
In accordance to the Constitution Trump should never be allowed to hold public office again.
Not only COULD he be, he SHOULD be
Amen. 🙏🏻🇺🇸⚖️💙🗽
Only in communist states
Good info, thank you !
Never have voted for t-rump,.. never will.
❤ Democracy Docket. Thank You!
WE WANT OUR DEMOCRACY PRESERVED AND PROTECTED
Knowing that you and your team are working day and night to defend our democracy is the only thing that helps me sleep at night.
I love your work Marc and team. It is so important and so worthwhile. I hope everyone finds some way to supporting you and your team’s work, however possible.
Throw him in jail and don't.let him run
Good discussion. Very informational. 👍👍👍👍👍.
Thanks for doing this and for including younger generations
Take him off and put him in jail!!!!😂😂😂
Please get this traitor in prison where he belongs.
I DONT WANT TO GO TO PRISON
Hey frump. You go to prison, now!
@@DonaldJTrunnp tough.
Will not recommend this video
@@Ruth-hi4md you're desperate to matter. You're value is less, each time you express your weakness.
Thank you
Love, Democracy Docket !!
Colorado Supreme Court should be ruling in the coming week on their 14th amendment case next week.
Many thanks for all your efforts, Marc. You’ll deserve much credit if our country manages to avoid become a fascist dictatorship.
He NEVER SHOULD'VE BEEN ON IT ! ! ! !
I do get the newsletter and I I love listening to you Marc you are so smart so informative got your pulse on this Nation for all of us
Paige I have never watched you before but I've watched mark on a lot of different programs so now I've seen you and I enjoy you as well
