Former President Donald Trump seen pictured after his indictment was announced. Okay Trump was indicted yesterday by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. We're really in uncharted here as no president or former president has ever
been indicted. Trump has been living in Florida. Florida governor Ron DeSantis has said he
would not assist in Trump being extradited to New York. Does that mean officials
from the DA's office in Manhattan couldn't go down to Florida and bring Trump back to New York next Tuesday to face the
charges against him? We'll have to wait
and see what happens. An article posted on Friday titled, "Trump indicted: What happens
next?" [1]
described what the case against him was all about simply listing what the
actual charges are, how Trump reacted, posing the question could he still run
for president, and lastly what happens next. What was most surprising to this writer was the following from the article,
"Charges and even a conviction, do not disqualify him from a presidential run". That may be correct as a re-read of the Constitution indicates there is
nothing in it preventing Trump from running again. There's references to a president
being removed for treason, bribery, or other high crimes but Trump is no longer
in office. So it doesn't apply to him. There is mention in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution that "No person shall be
elected president having engaged in insurrection". (Note: You can view every article as one long page if you sign up as an Advocate Member, or higher).
