But the text is clearly self executing. Congress can act like a pardon board to restore eligibility. It does not get powers to determine it in the first place. The intention was clearly that would be candidates with a bar would go hat in hand to Congress before campaigning. In fact this just reminded me that any SCOTUS decision on this is another massive electoral over reach. They are again usurping Congress' power. Trump should be having friendly politicians advance a bill there to get the bar removed. permalink fedilink source parent [–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) No mention of that being discussed in the summaries I've seen. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) This comment should be deleted soon permalink fedilink source parent
