The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
Sooo...what's posting a pictures comparison supposed to infer? Guess in what difference(s) can be seen? So then Badges? Hair? Deltas? Earings? Makeup? How many flags' stars are showing? Tie vs tie tab? Color of flag stipe closet to ear? Neck shadowing? ...it's like a not so subtle, politically motivated, one of these pictures is not like the other game. Or is it a trick and the change is/was internal!? And was it really the rank that changed that person??? More likely that person's response to external stimuli. Rank shouldn't drastically change a person. Subtle changes I'd agree with, but drastic changes because of new rank perhaps mean the rank went to the wrong person. Begs the debatable question of does a person make rank or rank make a person?

So what your saying is, there might be a bunch of six-fingered TDY-babies running amuk!?! Won't need Ancestory.com to trace that lineage because @RASH , @Lord Ratner, & @Biff_T are implicated when those six-fingered kiddos are blurting-out 'dibs' during hopefully hilarious, liquefied rants on kid-TDYs of their own! ...all hyperbole

The Next President is...
Interesting read and interpretation. However not convincing. The follow-on rulings will be interesting to watch. Key reasons/keywords: Oath, 'support', officer, offices mentioned...and words mean things, also lack thereof. First, the Insurrectionist clause starts at banning, or 'disabling', at the Congressional level and then under the United States to individual states. Note the primacy writing style used. This undoubtably means officers APPOINTED by public authority as mentioned in your citation's para 130-132 who are found guilty of insurrection, yes? These same insurrectionist must have sworn to "support" the Constitution, while POTUS' oath does not. References follow. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S1-C8-1/ALDE_00001126/ (might have to cliffnote more this website after all this...) & https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-2/section-1/clause-8/ Second, The Office of the President is filled chiefly by an election & electors. POTUS is not an appointed officer in that sense, despite the position being an office, that is the Office of the President of the United States. Third, and back to that primacy writing style, why would "an officer of the United States" which is written after "member of Congress" include the POTUS when Congress is written out expressly and POTUS is not? Lastly, perhaps most importantly, the preposition 'under' versus the use 'of'. Under meaning that which is below or beneath or lower-than. Section 3 says to disable any insurrectionist from holding any office under the United States. So clarify for us, is it the President of OR under the United States? I await your answer curiously because a new adjudged interpretation of this matter by you and SCOTUS could change the big guy's business card to PUTUS! Which sounds wrong... (and likewise SCUTUS)

Is POTUS an officer, Congressman, and/or state legislator/judicator sworn to the constitution per 14th Amendment, SEC. 3? // ...member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state...// https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxiv# I'd say several on this forum are officers (clearly), one to two are/were congressman, and who knows the last category....but POTUS fitting those categories, likely no. So why was it brought in the first place against #45?
