In my view, there is no conflict between the Constitution and the U.S. Code.

Did you read the SCOTUS cases in my previous post? The only qualifications for federal office are found in the U.S. Constitution. States may not add to the qualifications; Congress (outside of a Constitutional amendment) may not add to the Constitution qualifications. Statutes, despite your continued insistence, do not override the U.S. Constitution.

No offense, friend, but you’re stuck in an intellectual cul-de-sac.

Hillary Clinton is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, relating to her handling of classified information while acting as Secretary of State.

She broke the letter and spirit of the law, and the FBI investigation proved it. The Director stood before the nation and admitted as much.

What she did while serving in an official capacity, is tantamount to treason, as there is every chance that foreign powers hostile to the United States now possess some of our country’s most sensitive secrets.

Even the simplest reason and logic dictates that such a person should forever be barred from holding government office. That is precisely what the statute says.

I’m not interested in having a pointy headed, ivory tower argument with you about this. Common sense says that a people should bar traitors from doing further harm to their nation, by whatever reasonable barriers they can devise. Code 2071 is such a reasonable barrier.

Keep advocating for Hillary if you want. Just don’t expect to get much agreement around here.
