Congress has the right to block President-elect Donald Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act immediately. It is reported by The Hill.
"The Constitution stipulates that a rebel who violates the oath has no right to be president. This is the simple wording of section 3 of the 14th Amendment to The Constitution. "No person shall ... hold any office, civil or military, in the United States or in any state, if he has previously taken an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and participated in rebellion or rebellion against it or provided assistance or support to its enemies," the article says.
It is noted that this restriction can be eliminated by two-thirds of the votes in each chamber.
The author claims that "the evidence of Donald Trump's participation in such a rebellion is irrefutable."
According to him, "Democrats should oppose the voting of the electoral college for a person deprived of the right to hold office in accordance with the Constitution until this restriction is eliminated." This, they say, is required by their oath to support and defend the Constitution.
"Is Hill trying to organize a rebellion?" Trump commented on the article on the TRUTH Social social network owned by him.
