You kind of answered your own question. But yeah, the job of the FCC under the Trump Regime is to help corporations / the rich grift and steal as much from American citizens as possible. This change furthers the ability of both Trump and the ruling class of oligarchs to do just that.

If the FCC members play along, they might benefit from some of the corruption personally. If not, they will be publicly bullied and/or replaced. Trump operates as if he is a mob boss.

This concerted effort to rob our people is a large part of what the DOGE firings aimed to achieve in the beginning of the regime’s 2nd term - get rid of anyone who would protest, and definitely get rid of all the watchdogs (inspectors general) whose job it was to ensure this doesn’t happen. It is no coincidence that at the same time the press is manufacturing consent for this repeal, Starlink is preparing to tack on massive amounts of fees for its users.

This is why it needs further consideration imo. To me, that comma means that these are the criteria for presidency once the constitution is adopted.

If it means citizen at the time of adoption, would they not have omitted the comma to make it more clear?

You know what, I stand corrected and learned more about this today. There was a case Hassan v. State of New Hampshire (2012) which already examined this and established natural born isn’t repealed by the 14th, plus some debates by Congress around the time the 14th passed that firms up that interpretation. I still think that comma is sus though.

Ok but why is that the consensus interpretation? Do you think there might be some racial bias there which should be reexamined by the courts? I do.

I’m glad you agree with my interpretation of the 14th, because that is actually the part that is considered more up for debate.

I still don’t think you’ve read the relevant portion of article 2, so let me provide it for you here:

1.5 No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President;

…

a citizen of the United States

Can you explain to me why this “isn’t enough”?

Ooohh, sick burn. For an ignoramus.

Try reading it for yourself

I don’t agree with that interpretation, and many scholars would argue it needs to be deliberated by scotus (but not this one) to settle things once and for all.

The 14th amendment is quite clear, naturalized citizens are US citizens. And article 2 says US citizens can be president.

great speech

Because they’re stuck thinking 150 years in the past.

Israel is literally in the process of co-opting the entire US government. This should be the only issue people vote on until the terrorist bastards are rooted out entirely.

Centrist dems will never understand that, because the only thing they do understand is cashing donor checks.
