It disqualifies him, he is giving aid and comfort to insurrectionists and seditionists. One was just sentenced to 18 years for seditious conspiracy and his public statement needs to be challenged in court and an objection made when he files his papers to run for office. He just disqualified himself and the 14th means something, or it does not, and the lessons of the civil war are forgotten. Let him take it to the SCOTUS and the same should apply to Trump too, let the SCOTUS say they can violate the constitution and hold office, let them say that their opinion counts more than the crystal-clear text of the US constitution. He is from one of those states that was in rebellion after all and for which the 14th amendment was written.
What was the intention of the authors of the amendment, since that is of paramount importance to the federalists on the court?

House leaves town with no debt ceiling deal
House lawmakers are leaving Washington for the long holiday weekend Thursday afternoon — just one week before the Treasury Department says the U.S. is at risk of a debt default — without a deal to raise the debt ceiling.
Negotiators say they’re getting closer to striking a deal to avert a default next week, but an agreement didn’t appear imminent Thursday.
“Still working through thorny issues, but there’s goodwill on all sides,” Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), a key ally of Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and negotiator in spending talks with the White House, told The Hill on Thursday.
“It’s just tougher issues that remain,” he added.
At the same time, Democrats have been piling the criticism onto House GOP leaders for greenlighting the scheduled recess with the fiscal deadline looming.
“It’s just the weirdest thing to be going home in the middle of an impending disaster,” Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.) told The Hill on Thursday.
House GOP leaders said Wednesday that members could leave as scheduled Thursday but should be prepared to return to the Capitol to vote on legislation to raise the debt limit with 24 hours notice.
Tensions are beginning to reach a fever pitch on both sides, as liberals and conservatives alike fret about what concessions a final agreement will contain.
While Democratic leaders face increased calls from their members to reject GOP-backed spending cuts, hard-line conservatives have pressed their leadership to remain firm in its efforts to achieve significant reforms.
The bill passed by House Republicans last month would raise the debt limit through next March, at the latest, in exchange for capping government funding for fiscal 2024 at fiscal 2022 levels and limiting spending grown to 1 percent each year for a decade, along with a host of other conservative priorities.
Both sides have indicated, however, that a final bipartisan agreement will likely be much narrower in scope, as leaders focus on areas such as work requirements for social safety net programs, unallocated coronavirus funding and spending caps.
McCarthy has expressed confidence that the final deal would be able to notch significant support within his conference, and the party is largely unified behind the leader’s strategy in talks.
But there are concerns from some conservatives about what the final deal will look like.
In comments to reporters Thursday, Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) applauded the Speaker and GOP negotiators for their work leading talks for the Republican side over the past few weeks. But he also cautioned against the party taking an “exit ramp five exits too early.”
A group of 35 House Freedom Caucus members and allies, meanwhile, released a letter Thursday calling for McCarthy to push for additional conservative priorities, demanding to see how Treasury Department Secretary Janet Yellen determined a default could come on June 1 and suggesting passing COVID-19 funding clawbacks and repealing an IRS funding boost as a way to push back the deadline.
On the other side of the aisle, Democrats are also locking arms behind President Biden amid negotiations. However, there are questions about how much Democratic support the debt limit deal will be able to muster, as liberals come out in strong opposition to tougher work requirements for federal assistance programs and reduced nondefense funding.
“I think the president has been trying to talk to them, but time is running out,” Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) said this week.
“He won the White House because of a diverse vibrant coalition across the country and particularly in key states,” Jayapal said. “What we’ve said to the White House is to understand that we need to make sure that our vibrant, diverse coalition, represented by so many of the members in the Progressive Caucus, continue to be enthusiastic.”
Heading into the recess, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) accused Republicans of threatening to tank the economy because they think it might hurt Biden and the Democrats politically.
Democrats “are unified in working to avoid a dangerous default, which is what extreme MAGA Republicans are clearly determined to bring about,” Jeffries said, “because they have concluded that if they crash the economy, it will benefit them politically.
“That’s a sick way of thinking.”

Looks like it's crash and burn time for the economy or Joe just goes ahead and invokes the 14th and lets the SCOTUS try to stop him. I would expect interest rates to go up starting immediately. A lot of people in Canada will lose their houses over this if America defaults, money goes where the interest rates are highest and mortgage rates here will go up along with American ones. They can do this because they have an alternate reality of lies they can hide behind and just blame Biden for something that is their fault completely.House leaves town with no debt ceiling deal

The republicans will do it because the stupid cunts who they fuck won't blame them for it, they won't accept that they voted to fuck themselves when they voted for republicans. They were supposed to fuck "them", not me! If McCarthy does this stupid shit, he will be fucking more than Americans and trust me, crash the global economy and you will regret it and the US dollar won't be the reserve currency for long, not with fucking lunatics playing with it and the credit of the USA.
I can see it now, millions of desperate MAGATs freaking out when the government check doesn't get deposited in their accounts, foxnews says it's all Biden's fault, because they won't admit that they fucked themselves.
Let's talk about whether you're getting paid....

He was reelected 6 months ago, and much was already known about the psycho but people who vote republican don't care about character or facts and this Trump, MTG, Gaetz and a long list of others are the result. Kevin's house was elected 6 months ago FFS in the wake of J6. Nobody who supports the republican party is a patriot, they can't vote for a party that tried to overthrow the US constitution and be a patriot, they are deluding themselves and lying to everybody.
It's like sticking a loaded gun in yer mouth and pulling the trigger FFS.

It's ok, they believe in Jesus and will git those liberals and brown folks, besides "they" are taking over. There is a labor shortage, so child labor is the republican solution because all the immigrants are black and brown these days and they don't even want legal immigration. Besides, if kids are working in shit jobs as semi slaves, they won't be in school getting dangerous ideas from LIBERAL teachers.
