Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ok, aside from bad fanfic what is the way he’s not the nominee and on the ballot in all 51 electoral jurisdictions?
I mean when even the federalist society are penning their opinions on various publications supporting such a position...
And the beauty of this is it only takes a few swing states blocking him on the ballot to wreck his election.
Isn't the opposite true though as well? Can't red states just make up reasons to remove biden if a conviction isn't required?
It is insurrection specific so states would have the burden of proving (if they cared about proof) Biden was engaged with an insurrection.
Sure, if they could identify an instance in which he "engaged in insurrection or rebellion [...], or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof". Biden has never committed such an offense, so in order for red states to attempt this they'd have to fabricate facts and have a sufficient number of state officials go along with it, essentially The Big Lie 2.0.
Legally he can not be on the ballot in any of the 51 electoral jurisdictions per the United States Consitution.
Lol I wish. Where’d you get your law degree, Arby’s?
It's right there in the Consitution of the United States. You are welcome to read it yourself.

Neat, now apply it correctly to the current fact pattern. I can make up fun thought experiments, too.
If you don't want to read it that is up to you. Thanks for playing.
