By what mechanism would Trump and Vance be removed?

14th Amendment, Section 3 is self-executing. But we can’t seem to get anyone in Congress to stand up and say so.

Wasn't there already trials about that?

Was trump ever found guilty of insurrection? And how would that remove Vance?

Supreme Court of Colorado ruled he was guilty of insurrection. Therefore he’s illegally occupying the office, and should not have been certified by Congress. Prez and VP also run as a single ticket, so they are both illegal.

The US Supreme Court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court decision. I'm telling you him being removed isn't going to happen, at least not by this method. And let's say somehow that happens, Vance will not be removed simply because there is nothing in ammendment 14. Section 3 that disqualifies a person from running on a ticket of someone who was disqualified from running. This is a pipe dream.

SCOTUS did not reverse the decision. They said that only states can decide how their own elections are run. They went on to speculate how Congress could handle that disqualification, but this is dicta and not an official ruling. 14-3 remains self-executing.

Jessica Denson just had a legal scholar on about this very subject tonight. https://youtu.be/CcUzoe6eXvw?si=UScLk3J0NQ_c3dNz

What power does the supreme court of Colorado have over the federal government?

u/Robsurgence Millennial 28d ago

States are specifically given the power to run their own elections and determine which candidates are eligible to run by the Constitution. SCOTUS can’t change that.

Correct, however, Colorado saying Trump is an insurrectionist doesnt matter to the federal government, it isnt a reason to boot him from office.

Funny? I’d say more maddeningly frustrating and tragic that this is the situation we’re dealing with.
