❗ "Long before we had a pro-Kremlin traitor Donald Trump in the #WhiteHouse and #MAGA#HouseGOP insurrectionists in Congress, 18 U.S. Code § 2383 established that "whoever" gives aid & comfort to an insurrection "shall" suffer lifetime ban from "office under the United States.
The Constitutional authority is not simply from 14th Am. Sec 3 but also in Art III, Sec 3 that gave Congress the power to "declare the punishment for treason" and it has done so in 18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason banning anyone who "levies war against [the United States], and was charged after the Civil War for the insurrection. Long-standing US law incudes the following mandatory lifetime ban from office:
"Whoever . . . levies war against [the United States] ... [S]hall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."#uscourts"
@skykiss Whenever maga say that trump didn't start any wars remind them that he waged war on the United States and that "America first" is their battle cry.
