The Sunshine State governor made a similar comment recently when he warned that Maine’s ruling disqualifying Trump ‘opens up Pandora’s box’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has revealed that he’s “looking” into ways to block President Joe Biden from the 2024 primary ballot in Florida.
“This is just going to be a tit for tat and it’s just not gonna end well,” the GOP presidential candidate warned Friday alongside Rep. Chip Roy, R-TX, according to a video posted by CNN. “You could make a case — I’m actually looking at this in Florida now [if we] could we make a credible case” to block Biden from the ballot “because of the invasion of 8 million.”
Obama isn’t eligible to run for President because he already served 2 terms. It doesn’t need to go to court - he’s automatically disqualified. Same thing applies to insurrection, which is why convictions were not required after the Civil War to bar Confederates from holding office.
And if Obama tried to run, he’d be rightfully barred from the ballot until he could prove his legal theory on why the law doesn’t apply to him.
Same thing for Trump.
With Biden there’s no existing law barring him from running. He hasn’t taken part in an insurrection or served 2 terms. He isn’t under 35 and isn’t foreign-born. There’s literally no constitutional justification for keeping him off the ballot.
With Trump there is.
Colorado Judge ruled Trump committed insurrection. That’s as much due process as is needed. He’s been found guilty.
