Comments by "MarcosElMalo2" (@MarcosElMalo2) on "🚨Emergency Podcast: George Conway Explains SCOTUS Ruling in Trump Disqualification Case" video.
The legal difference is that the 20 year old won’t be qualified to be on any ballot until he reaches the age of 35. Someone disqualified under section 3 of the 14th amendment can have the disqualification reversed by an act of Congress. And that’s part of the problem with this case. A party has the right to nominate whoever the heck they want. In fact, the nomination doesn’t happen until the convention. When we vote in a primary, we are actually voting for delegates to the convention. The case was filed and decided (in Colorado) too soon. I’m not sure when it could or should be filed, either after a candidate is nominate by his party or after he’s elected but before he takes office. And here’s the thing to remember: if Trump were elected, and THEN disqualified by the 14th Amendment, section 3, his Vice President would assume the presidency. At least I think that’s how it works, but I could be wrong. Anyway, the case in Colorado was filed and decided too soon. They might have had better luck if the Colorado decision had come AFTER the primary.
