Even after the Supreme Court ruled in his favor and he won a decisive electoral victory, some are still calling on Congress to block President Trump from taking office. Will any lawmakers take up these columnists on their plan?

From Fox News. Opinion columnists for The Hill called on Congress to invoke the 14th Amendment disqualification to block President-elect Trump from taking office next month.

In a column published ThursdayEvan A. Davis and David M. Schulte argued that the 14th amendment enables Congress to object to the electoral votes since they consider Trump, in their words, “an oath-breaking insurrectionist.”

Article 3 of the 14th Amendment bars former officeholders who “engaged in insurrection” or has “given aid or comfort to the enemies” from holding public office again. The restriction can be removed by a two-thirds vote in each House.

Citing this disqualification, Davis, a former editor-in-chief of the Columbia Law Review, and Schulte, former editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal, claimed that Trump is ineligible to be president. The pair called on Congress to take action when they meet in a joint session to formally count the electoral votes next week. …

The authors cited Trump’s second impeachment trial, the Jan. 6 Capitol attack probe by Congress and the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling to disqualify the former and incoming president from appearing on the state’s ballots in 2024 as reasons for his ineligibility. …

“The inescapable conclusion of this evidence is that Trump engaged in insurrection against the Constitution.”

The Colorado state ruling to kick Trump off the ballot on the basis of the 14th amendment disqualification found that there was “clear and convincing evidence that President Trump engaged in insurrection as those terms are used in Section Three,” Davis and Schulte wrote.

But the decision was appealed, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Trump’s favor, concluding that “states have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency.”

Still, Davis and Schulte griped that the “court did not address the finding that Trump had engaged in insurrection,” insisting that the Supreme Court’s decision in this case does not preclude Congress from rejecting electoral votes when they convene on Jan. 6. …

The column garnered swift and fierce backlash online, with critics accusing the authors of “endorsing insurrection.” …

“This article constitutes a conspiracy to overturn the 2024 election,” Will Chamberlain, Senior Counsel at the Article III Project, posted.

“Warrants were served on people who said far less than this about Biden in 2021,” conservative commentator John Cardillo posted. …

Anyone seeking to block President Trump from taking office should be dealt with as traitors under USC – CH115 – SEC2381 -2390. The strongest penalties should be applied.

Psalms 56:9,1. Isaiah 43:2-3Psalm 7:9 Psalm 141:9. Isaiah 43:2-3
Luke 12:2-3 President Trump will be vindicated and as God used Moses, I pray that like Moses God will use him to free the righteous from those that are trying to control and crush us. President Trump will be paid back 7×7 what the enemy has stolen from him and his family and those that are with him and restore the years the cankerworm has eaten. And President Trump will be blessed with the wisdom that Solomon had.

Trump won by a landslide, including unlikely voters. Not only did he win electorially,, but only the popular vote. Not only this, but he caused BOTH houses of Congress to flip to Republican. THIS is the will of the people. In a democracy, this MUST stand. Sure there are many who were not happy about Trump’s immense victory, but they should just realize that there are winners and there are losers. Their wanting to block him, if successful, overturns the overwhelming will of the people. The people are NOT going to just forget about it. There WILL BE ill will and a tremendous push back. Gee, we thought Trumps overwhelming victory was already a HUGE push back.

God, please humble Mr. Trump and draw him unto you, fully surrendered, not simply noting that God saved his life. May you put another layer of protection around him, SHIELD HIM Jehovah Magen, for Your purposes. Stop the plans of the enemy of Your Good. May the wicked be trapped by their own evil plans as Haman. Lead the nation into Repentance that You may heal our land.

        No one worships Trump. Shame on you for suggesting they do. God chose Trump and you’re not walking with the Lord if you can’t see that. If you believe Trump raped Jean Carroll, you are brainwashed by the media. Carroll accused 6 men of rape. She can’t remember any details, not even the year. Sadly, I have numerous friends who have been raped and they tell me they remember every single detail even 20, 30 and 40 years later even after trying therapy to forget. It’s amazing that Carroll’s rape story exactly matches a ‘Law & Order: SVU” episode that the judge wouldn’t allow Trump’s defense to present. Regardless, King David committed adultery and murder but was a man after God’s heart. God can use whomever He chooses and they don’t have to be a Christian and obviously they will be a flawed human. Who are you to question and slander God’s choice? I recommend you pray, worship, repent and ask God to open your eyes to His truth, not what the media tells you.

God is bigger than anything that these two Rhinoes try to invoke against our rightful President. The left know that Trump is going to clean house once he is in the White House and their days are numbered. Gitmo is awaiting their arrival. It will be a delayed Christmas miracle to know that finally those corrupt individuals will no longer be spurring their venom but will be begging for mercy . MAGA Mr . President Blessings to you.

We know You have a purpose in all of this, block the flaming arrows of the enemy in his relentless pursuit. I pray these men who oppose the will of the people to be removed from office . Trump was never convicted of being an insurrectionist. Just because some obtuse folks THINK so, it doesn’t make it so.

Our Father in Heaven has told His children for years now that Donald Trump is His chosen, His anointed for such a time as this. He has told us not to fear or listen to those who continually spew lies in an attempt to block God’s choice. It will not work, it will not happen. Their nefarious actions and words will have no power or effect. Fear not, only believe and continue to declare what God has promised.

Congress has no right to block Trump from office. He is as we speak the real POTUS and has been all along being the wartime POTUS. Biden was never inaugurated, was executed 1/17/21. 87% of the Congress people are guilty of major crimes. Money laundering in countries especially Ukraine where the money sent to them ends up back in the Congressman’s pockets, child trafficking, weapons trafficking, adrenochrome usage, violations of the Logan Act and the Constitution, making up stories about Trump that is not true like the J6 so-called insurrection that they themselves were involved in plus so much more crimes that has been well known for a while now all over the world. Some of us use remote viewing for truth which you do not do unless it is your favor. If Congress blocks Trump, the nearly entire nation will rise up against them unless the Brunson case comes to light making the criminals in Congress be arrested which is already happening. No one can any longer gaslight human beings including the American public. You may also be in trouble. I am only a spokesperson for a “society” you do not want to mess with. In fact, all of you are already in serious criminal trouble. thank God!

May their falsehoods and their implications burn like chaff on chile roasting day.

May your David be surrounded by the love of your mercy and grace thereby shielding him from the fiery darts of his enemies. Amen

The House Republicans may already be blocking the President. They seem likely to oust the current Speaker, thus repeating the same circus that cost the GOP about three months two years ago during which Congress could do nothing. If they are foolish enough to repeat that mistake, they won’t be able to do a blessed thing including certifying the election.

    But, I exhault You, oh, Lord!
    No weapon formed against will not succeed! Ultimately, God’s will is going to be exhibited no matter what..I do believe He allowed the 2020 election to be stolen, however painful, to expose far more corruption than we were aware of…. now, May God, our Creator, Sustainer, Father, allow our election results to give us our chosen president, DJ Trump! I believe God created DJT for this time in history!
    All glory to God, no other!!
