We The People

We The People -

The recent 9-0 Supreme court ruling goes further to prove that a state court or activist Secretary of State cannot keep a bona fide Presidential candidate off the ballot.  We are a constitutional federal republic, that elects it’s representatives.  We the people get to decide.  Even in the past when a candidate would have his problems exposed, if the candidate would not suspend his campaign, the people would decide.

The decision from March 4^th, 2024, says that in a Federal Election, the Congress is the only part that can keep a candidate off the ballot.  Weather you like one candidate or not, outside parties have tried to limit your choice on the vote in Colorado, Illinois, and Maine.

Some would say, that activist judges in other states could call into question the mental acuity of another Presidential candidate, and invoke the 25^th Amendment.  If that happened the other party would cry fowl too.  This option in the law falls upon the Vice-President, or majority of principle officers in the Executive Branch can only invoke this.

Congress may look at this question and bring clarity to what the Supreme Court just passed down.  It’s nice when the law is clear, and not depending on a 150 year old law concerning Officers in the Civil War.  But then it seems that what those who oppose the former 45^th President want a Civil War.

In the cause of the right.
