  A conductor cannot play a symphony alone.
context: It's like battered wife syndrome. republican congressmen they fled their offices out of fear for their lives, now they're like oh he didnt mean it! >
  
  Well that was when they were in physical danger.  Now they're more concerned with maintaining power and planning their retaliatory "investigation". >
  
  So, serious question, what happens if he does run and does win even if this actually passes both chambers? I'm fascinated by all these checks and balances that I was taught about in middle school. I'm even more fascinated that there's no enforcement because our magic rule scroll was written with an assumption of the wealthiest and most powerful acting in good faith. >
  
  If this actually passes he legally couldn't be elected, he'd be barred from office. Just like someone born in Austria couldn't be president even if he ran for it and somehow won (though it'd never get that far anyways). If you're barred from office you're barred from office, period.
  He wouldn't be eligible to be the Republican nominee in the first place anyways. He could run third party but even without being barred he's not winning 3rd party and even if he did he'd still be ineligible to hold office. 
  If this passes his political career is kaput, end of story. >

  That's actually not true.  Article II Section 1 of the Constitution stipulates that someone born in Austria can't be president.  There is also a stipulation about how Congress may remove a president or elected official from office once elected.  There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution giving Congress the power to preemptively bar someone for running.  
  
  No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. >
  
  With Republicans taking control of the House and the Senate basically even, you know that's not likely to happen. Let the DoJ do its job and throw the bum in jail, where he belongs. >

  It’s important to make substantive recommendations. Let republicans be the hacks they are. Maybe a few more people will start to notice.
