but absent any clarifying law from Congress it’s really hard to figure out how to implement it.
OK yeah but that’s literally the supreme court’s JOB.
But if they rule it as self executing (which it almost certainly is), we can expect a clusterfuck stateside for the foreseeable future from Republicans. Though, that may be a feature for them, not a bug.
Best case scenario, I guess, would be the SC deciding eligibility is a federal thing not a state thing, AND that trump is ineligible to run.
Though that’d make him a martyr… But allowing him to run after a coup attempt is a terrible precident as well…
I don’t think we’re winning no matter how this turns out, boys.

Allowing him to run after a failed coup attempt would invite others to attempt another coup. Good points.
