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.

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., has been on the forefront of the 14th Amendment push among Democrats, and Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., late last month called it"intriguing." MIKE LEE'S OBJECTION TO 'FALSE' TRUMP IMPEACHMENT EVIDENCE CAUSES STIR AS DEMS SET FOR CLOSING ARGUMENTS It's almost certain that this action, like an impeachment conviction, does not have the votes to pass.

Trump, at the rally, repeated his false election claims and he and advisers used pitched rhetoric, riling up the large crowd. Trump at one point in the rally told his followers to"peacefully and patriotically" march to the Capitol, a why he does not bear responsibility for the ransacking of the Capitol.

Remove this shit bag !

Trump watched for 3 1/2 hours before saying a single word. Meanwhile people died, including two police officers. So yeah, he should NEVER be president again. It was already a huge mistake before Jan 6th anyway. FTrump
