      It just doesn’t apply to the president. Traitors aren’t allowed in office unless its the highest possible office. Just like judges can’t accept gifts unless they’re the highest possible judge. Rules don’t apply to the people at the top. It’s what the founding fathers wanted.

        Every ballot is a state ballot. That decision is fucking bullshit.

        Edit: Okay, there are municipal and county ballots, but the Federal government doesn’t administer any public election.

      I agree they shouldn’t ever hold office, but the 14th amendment is about people who had previously held office. Assumably none of these idiots have held office.
