  1. Try it you dirty traitors!

  2. Should all convicts be pardoned?

  3. This section of the Constitution is no more"obscure" than any other section.

  4. Появился всё-таки! 😂

  5. Article 1 Section 3 Clause 7 "But the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law" Trump was not convicted by the senate. Can any one explain what happen next?

  6. So, since Trump was still President when this happened, he was promoting insurrection …. against himself?

  7. Remember what Trump has done- took national secrets home with him they had to be seized back, a fraud with his finances, a wannabe dictator who compliments actual dictators (Putin and Xi Jinping), he has insulted our military those who actually served in battle, preaches hate like Hitler. He is no leader he is a conman and a bully.

  8. Democracy means the people decide. Anyone talking about banning anyone from a ballot is against democracy. People have the right to not vote for someone. This is election interference and nothing else.

  9. First "insurrection" in history where they left their guns at home (in the worlds most heavily armed country), were escorted in by Capitol police, and just went home after a couple hours….all while waving the flag of the country they are supposedly "insurrecting" against.

  10. If Trump wasn't involved in an insurrection Who was that clown on TV claiming to be TRump while cheering on an insurrection.

  11. This is ridiculous. He wasn't anywhere near any protest. He was home ,i believe he was on the phone miles away telling people to be polite and calm. This what I have understood, end of story. Leave President Trump alone America needs him more than most people know or don't care bc of their personal interests. Thats obvious in my humble opinion.
    GOD BLESS 🇺🇸 AMERICA 🇺🇸 AMEN 🙏

  12. No, Democrats know Bidum cant win so they try to take away the majorities choice for president, wont end well for then 😂😂

  13. Left Wing America probably frustrated now that their 'solidarity' with brown people of color is diminishing cause many of us want Trump 😂 even so many Mexicans 😂

  14. ANY PRESIDENT WHO LEADS AN INSURRECTION AGAINST THE DEMOCRACY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA VIOLATED THE 14 AMENDMENT SECTION 3!!!!! LEARN TO READ PEOPLE!!!!!!

  15. What court found him guilty of insurrection ?

  16. DONALD TRUMP VIOLATED THE 14 AMENDMENT SECTION 3!!!!! AMERICANS NEED TO READ THEIR CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!

  17. It didn't say "guilty" of insurrection, it said engaged in. He lied and his supporters reacted to his lie about the election being stolen.

  18. The only thing tRump qualifies for is Prison lock him up!

  19. The 2nd amendment also says we can forcibly remove Biden! The main reason the 2nd is to protect us from a tyrannical government.

  20. Democratic Party founded KKK

    Republican Party abolished slavery with Pres. Lincoln

    Republicans gave AfricanAmericans the right to vote.

  21. No, they can't keep Trump off of the ballot and they know it. It doesn't stop these low-life cronies from trying. Slimey losers.

  22. Ahhhh so now we support the constitution all of a sudden ?

  23. The correct answer is no. First off even though they use the word insurrection an awful lot he has actually not been charged nor convicted of insurrection by anyone check the court cases. And the second thing is even if all that wasn't true it still doesn't matter because the 14th amendment only applies to appointed positions in government not the ones that we the people vote for. The law was created so that southern senators after we reunified with the South couldn't appoint Confederate insurrectionist to government-appointed positions it has nothing to do with the ones we vote for

  24. Damn! The commies are really exposing themselves. And not just to little boys.

  25. CORRUPT DEMOCRATS LATE AT NIGHT BYPASSED PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION LAW. LEGAL ELECTION OBJECTION IN WRITING WITH A SENATOR LAW JAN 6, 2021 DEMOCRATS EXTENSIVE FRAUD ORGANIZATION BYPASSED LAW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO STOP THE LEGAL ELECTION OBJECTIONS GOING TO THE SENATE.

  26. Deciding by his actions! 🇺🇸.
    No dictators in America not even for 1 day! 🤨
    Donald Duck for President 2024

  27. SENATE ❤ ACQUITTED TRUMP OF INCITING A INSURRECTION… STATE'S ARE COLLUDING TO GO AGAINST THE SENATE GOVERNMENT INSTITUTION RULING. aka Insurrection & Rebellion

  28. What exactly is obscure about it? Do you not understand English?
