There is no basis (and no standing) for a challenge to Trump’s candidacy based on the 14th until his name appears on a general election ballot. You could be a 19 year old drag queen born in Moldova and “run” for President. I’m pretty sure you could even be nominated. That’s party business. The Rs could nominate a ham sandwich. (It wouldn’t be the first time.) But you could not serve. So the idea that by the time Trump is nominated it’s too late for the courts to rule him ineligible is kinda ridiculous, since there’s really no actionable controversy until late in the game. Catch 22?? He can’t be disqualified until he’s nominated and by the time he’s nominated it’s too late to disqualify him? Bullshit!!

Donald Trump is disqualified from ever again serving in a position of trust in the US under the clear language of the 14th Amendment, which supersedes all other laws and statutes and requires no conviction in a court of law. On the contrary. The disqualification may be *removed* by Congress, but Congress has no role in its imposition. It is self-enforcing, as are the age and native born qualifications.

Otherwise Arnold Schwarzenegger Would be President. Or maybe AOC. But for damn sure, not The Donald.
