let me see if i understand this: trump signed twenty-six, executive orders on the day of his inauguration.  one of those orders was to subvert the 14th amendment of the constitution and reads as such.

that, regardless of bad faith policies allowing politics to obviate liability or a congress unwilling to meet their responsibilities to protect our country from offenses committed by officeholders, wasn't a mistake.  it was/is an attempt to avoid the constitutional amendment process and a document that trump should never have agreed to sign.  taken in context, with his public statements and all of the other and often more official words and actions the public has seen, this does not look good for him or for those associated with him.  the consequences for trying to subvert the constitution, including the requirements of the constitution for those holding appointed or elected office, those consequences are fairly severe under the laws of our country adherent to our constitution.  i certainly don't envy anyone that.  a right to legal recourse, for everyone within our country's jurisdiction, even with due process respecting the rights of everyone involved isn't always pleasant.

oh, in southern texas we apparently get winter weather effects from polar vortexes every four years now.

had to change more than a punctuation mark.  images above still show one extraneous " " between "amendment" and "process" now removed. 

 

[be fair?  the motive behind asking for that document (likely its own malfeasance) wasn't necessarily intended for its detrimental effect.  the probable intent was as a distraction in furtherance of any number of frauds.  those additional concerns aren't relevant yet since those aren't necessarily public today while just considering asking for it wasn't likely legal because of the document's intended, subversive functioning (the avoidance of constitutionally required process for constitutional amendment).]
