After the scam impeachment trial of former President Tramp ended with his acquittal, Dems were defeated once more.
Just like it happened last year, Nancy Pelosi’s witch hunt against Trump could not get enough Republican support in the Senate.
She and her House impeachment managers successfully smoked out seven RINO’s in the impeachment vote, but they still didn’t manage to convict the 45th president.
Yet, this seems far from the end.
They will now attempt to disqualify him from running for the presidency in 2024 by using a post-Civil War provision in the 14th Amendment to sabotage democracy.
Via The Washington Times, “D.C. Delegate Norton to Congress: Censure Trump, declare him ‘ineligible’ under 14th Amendment”:
“D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton called Saturday for colleagues in Congress to censure former President Trump, saying it is the only way to keep him out of office after his latest acquittal.
Ms. Norton, the District’s nonvoting member of the U.S. House of Representatives, pushed for passage of a resolution censuring Mr. Trump soon after his second impeachment trial ended in the Senate.
“I strongly supported impeachment, conviction, and disqualification of former President Trump who incited an insurrection at the Capitol on January 6,” Ms. Norton, a Democrat, said in a statement.”
This amendment option was adopted due to an alliance between Democrat Senator Tim Kaine and Republican Senator Susan Collins, who joined Democrats on Saturday in the impeachment trial of Trump.
Last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also left this option open as a fallback if Trump was found innocent:

Fox News wrote:
“Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Thursday did not rule out bringing legislation to bar former President Donald Trump from office if he is not convicted at the ongoing Senate impeachment trial.
Democratic senators have discussed in recent weeks that if they cannot secure the 67 votes needed to convict Trump — and bar him from holding office in a subsequent simple-majority vote — that they might invoke the 14th Amendment of the Constitution to do the same.
“We’re first going to finish the impeachment trial and then Democrats will get together and discuss where we go next,” Schumer replied.”
Considering the Democrat control of Congress and the Romney and the seven Never-Trumpers, such would easily pass, as it would not need a two-thirds supermajority.
The 14th Amendment will probably get a lot of play on the Sunday morning “news” shows and spill over into the rest of the media over the next week.
