It's so infuriating how difficult it is for people to understand this

Not only is what you're saying obviously correct, but THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED IN THE FUCKING AMENDMENT was asked about this exact lack of the word "president", and pointed to the officer line, and said that clearly included the president.

It's also worth noting that there was just a single reference in the Senate debate to the fact that the president and vice president were not explicitly mentioned in Howard's draft as "officer(s) of the United States," the way members of Congress and state officials had been itemized in the text. Would the disqualification clause of the amendment not cover the top posts in the executive branch?

"Why did you omit to exclude them?" asked Maryland Democratic Sen. Reverdy Johnson.

Maine's Lot Morrill jumped in to clarify.

"Let me call the Senator's attention to the words 'or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States,'" Morrill said, ending the discussion on that point.

Lots of people. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean nobody else does either.

Obama is a capitalist so someone who is a communist would have no reason to view him as a hero

Section 3 of the 14th amendment. It's in the constitution. This Isn't just random fuckery, he incited a violent mob to try to overthrow the government, therefore he is ineligible for office. Because no shit, but ALSO because it's written into the rules of the country.

You can't support the right without supporting their fascism, regardless of how you try to qualify it

As a night person who has to wake up at 6am, I can absolutely confirm. I'm always tired.

They've been coming for your guns for decades. And are not even one step closer.

So either you're wrong, or the people coming for them are so absurdly incompetent that you have nothing to fear. And I'm saying that as someone that absolutely supports them coming for your guns.
