Donald Trump does not have the makings of such a legacy. He's already damaged goods to run another term just by ruining the act of ending his term. It was worse than deplorable; an act of a child throwing a temper tantrum; something I gather he used to do as a child and has done as an adult. What is that story of throwing his plate of food for lunch against the wall, ketchup dripping on the wall? It was told to Chaney by Hutchinson. I cringed. My memory is waning. Oh yes, he was really ticked off. One term was enough.
Qualifications to be a United States President
- Be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
- Be at least 35 years old.
- Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.
- Donald has these qualifications; so do I. But here's where he's lost the privilege of running for president according to all the information we can gather.
14th Amendment to the US Constitution
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President (one of the electors in the electoral college) 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. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. Democrats have pointed to one phrase in particular as they argue that Trump incited those present to march down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the Capitol. He was heard to say:
"We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore," he said.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;
nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
English: insurrection. noun. in·sur·rec·tion ˌin-sə-ˈrek-shən. : the act or an instance of revolting especially violently against civil or political authority or against an established government. also : the crime of inciting or engaging in such revolt.It's been three years since the insurrection at the United States Capitol building. Following a speech by Donald Trump, where he again pushed lies about the 2020 election, the nation held its breath as it watched protesters breach the symbol of our nation's democracy. During the chaos, members of Congress feared for their lives while rioters terrorized officers from the Capitol Police and other agencies. Windows were shattered, violence ensued, and lives were lost.On January 6, 2021, turned out to be an insurrection on the U.S. Capitol. It was instigated, aided and abetted by Donald Trump who was running for a 2nd term. The heavily armed, Trump-incited mob attack of Jan. 6, 2021, was an attack not just on the U.S. Capitol building, but also on democracy and the rule of law.
Now the people at the helm are hemming and hawing over the legal limits a person can pull to still be in the race. Shame on them! Who indeed wants a president who urged and allowed the events of January 6th. The destruction of the building, and attack on life and limb are abominable. Our leaders are in the quagmire of 3rd countries who cheat and steal from their own people by defending Trump who has broken such rules to get his own way. He promises retribution and will spend his time attacking those who did not kiss his ring and exhort his position as president.
Is this the example to glorify as our leader; our president? Is this what people are willing to do just to keep Republicans in the ruling position? As a Republican voter, who shamelessly did vote for Trump in the first round with my own set of reasons, am ashamed and disgusted. That I left the Democrats who I felt had turned into something else and gave Trump a chance with thoughts of, well, if he doesn't turn out well, I can always vote another in the next 4 years, am so crushed and disappointed in what power has done to this man. He fulfilled his promises in the first 4 years but then stepped into the mire that has besmirched his name and his honor and his mind. He's what I call a flash in the pan.
So many are ready to throw out the electoral college. Haven't they paid attention to their history books or teachers? It's to prevent a state as large as California rule the rest of the USA and that we would have to conform to their rulings. You had better figure out where all the votes come from; and not allow the tiny states to become a ghost state without any protection if you go without such a defense system. Do you have a better idea than what our founding fathers had developed? Develop something better, oh clever people, and present it instead of knocking what we have. Prove it.
So far, the USA is better than other countries. You don't see huge lines trying to get into other countries, do you? Only lines of thousands trying to get into the USA.
