The value Americans place on democracy is the “most urgent question of our time,” President Joe Biden said during a speech kicking off his 2024 campaign in Pennsylvania on the eve of the third anniversary of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol - where he launched an impassioned political attack on his likely opponent Donald Trump that painted a sharp distinction between how the nation’s first and 45th presidents ended their terms.

Biden is in panic mode. Which Trump was in office, the country was running well. I’d like to go back to those times when I didn’t have inflation blowing my budget.

The Democrats are so afraid they’ll lose to Trump.

      Aw, what was uncivil about my post? All I did was point out that Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment expressly includes the office of the President!

      Specifically:

      One scholar notes that the drafting history of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment suggests that the office of the President is covered:

      During the debate on Section Three, one Senator asked why ex-Confederates “may be elected President or Vice President of the United States, and why did you all omit to exclude them? I do not understand them to be excluded from the privilege of holding the two highest offices in the gift of the nation.” Another Senator replied that the lack of specific language on the Presidency and Vice- Presidency was irrelevant: “Let me call the Senator’s attention to the words ‘or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States.’”

      That is from this paper: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3748639

      See? Nothing uncivil 😊
