Skip to page 95 for the 14th amendment analysis.

So are there any plans to alter the wording of the 14th slightly to clarify things, like “Yes and also the loving President, you idiots”?

The constitution is very difficult to amend and requires majorities that the conservatives are closer to than the progressives because of how many states are gerrymandered to have permanent republican control in their state legislature. The 14th isn’t changing anytime soon just like the 2nd isn’t. As much as I hate to say it, voting better people into office is the only solution aside from overthrowing the government (not really possible) and replacing it with something else.

I think it takes a majority vote of State governors to amend the Constitution, which is why alarm bells were going off for me when SheHuck ran for governor considering the company she keeps and how amazingly lovely the GOP is

Danielle Smith is really gonna speed run the whole Alberta’s successive shittier conservative governments until it tips over to the progressive ndp because everyone is so sick of the corruption and idiocy. Usually it takes quite a few before voters get fed up enough. Problem is how much damage can they do before the voters get there.

As a BCer I live for us blocking any pipeline access to tidewater from shithead Albertans. It sustains me.
I don't know. They voted her in after Jason Kenney. He was already extremely chuddy. She is much worse, but I wouldn't expect Albertans to come to their senses.

Also I live in Alberta and can confirm we are indeed Texas Jr. I live and work in a progressive bubble so it's not so bad for me, but rural Alberta is Not OK. What makes me sadder are the self-identified moderates who reflexively vote conservative because "the left can't manage an economy!" despite all evidence to the contrary.

I mean, I’ve had a few other lawfriends say that, but it seems like a relatively straightforward bit of constitutional interpretation. The amendment is ambiguous as to whether or not it applies to the president. The positions listed in the amendment are by seniority. There’d be no reason to list president below electors for the president which is what would have to be the case if president was included in “officers of the united states” plus that would contradict the other five places in the constitution where president is distinct from the officers of the united states.

If the 14th was supposed to apply to the top spot, they would have included it. A potential reason they did not is because the president is voted on by the entire nation, and their selection of an insurrectionist would be akin to congress removing the disability for someone to run for the other prohibited positions.

I don’t think the judge is ruling that way to avoid sticking her neck out. She ruled that Trump was an insurrectionist, after all.

It's amazing how effective some conservative marketing can be. You can show hard data that every time there's a Republican president, for example, the deficit balloons, then slows or shrinks under Democrats. YET, it's the Republicans that are "Fiscally Responsible". And it's like accepted wisdom,

Obviously agree to disagree, but imo the more natural reading is "we want all executive officers to be barred. We don't enumerate them one by one because are you loving kidding me." Only a lawyer would see that and go "hah you didn't exactly spell out the presidency, but we're gonna block secretary of homeland security."

They did bar executive officers. The president is separate from that, though. I’ve been saying this since the suit was filed. It’s the natural interpretation of the amendment. The absence of president must be considered deliberate since they could have included it but actively chose not to do so. This comports with all the other constitutional definitions of officers of the United States.

Like, I don’t disagree with you that this outcome is dumb in a general sense, but it is 100% correct in my estimation from a legal perspective. If the drafters/ratifiers of the amendment wanted to include the president, they would have done so. They even did in an earlier version and removed it further indicating that they meant to exempt the president. I don’t think there is a canon of statutory/constitutional interpretation that would dictate a different result.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the only way to stop a guy like Trump from being elected again is with the ballot box.
