Comment on Colorado’s Trump ban: An anti-democratic move in the name of democracy
Bongo_Stryker@lemmy.ca 11 months agoOk, so the meaning of “natural born citizen” and “age of 35 years” are very clear. My answer was somewhat facetious, but the issue is this: insurrection is not explicitly defined by federal law. So if one defines insurrection in a very narrow and specific way it could be said that president Trump didn’t engage in it. I think trying to submit fraudulent certificates of ascertainment and telling Pence to accept them does count as both insurrection and sedition, but I can also see why someone would disagree with that. I don’t believe any reasonable person can argue in good faith that such a plan wasn’t a subversion of the established electoral process and a violation of the electoral count act.

It is defined by law and Trump didn’t commit the elements of the crime.
