I think the Democrats may actually try invoking section 3 of Amendment 14 of the Constitution. It’s actually going to be tricky if they do because the wording isn’t specific and direct refers to the office of president.
I say tricky because words matter in the Constitution. Officer of the United States, doesn’t exactly correlate to the presidency. If Congress were to enact this, Trump could Sue in the courts. |
Yes, that clause specifically names senators, congressmen and electors of the POTUS and VP but doesn’t name the president. I suspect it would be fairly easy to argue at the Supreme Court that the office of president is deliberately excluded from that list. I would understand officers of the US to be cabinet positions in a president’s government rather than the president directly.
