    Again it did not pass the 2/3 rule. That is critical to make it lawful. I don’t know why that is so hard to understand.

    I get it. Trump is a sedacious bastards. But regardless they have yet to convict him of that in the legal court or within the Senate. Ones of those needs to have happened and it has not.

    And by the way it is not uncommon. Was done to Clinton for what amounted to a private matter but again did not pass the Senate and thus it did not effect his access to office. As it shouldn’t have in his case.

      It doesn’t require conviction. The amendment is written such that disqualification is automatic.
