>>Yes sir, that is the point. It should take the highest level of consensus to prevent an elected president from taking office<<

Trump hasn't been elected, would you like a redo on the above? :) = Lapody

================================

Yet, but I will still address your contention.

I will take the hit that I should have phrased it as "prevent a president-elect from taking office".

The wording of section 3 has to with preventing a person from "holding" office, which is different than running for office.

If Trump runs and looses, then it is a moot point. In the case he wins, that is when the 14th amendment kicks in and "could" be used to prevent him from taking office.

I use the word "could" because the SCOTUS opinion did have some disagreement on whether additional legislation is required to implement this provision.
