Yeah imo the practical effect for citizens is pretty limited, but the equivalent policy for US visas is far more damaging since noncitizens have essentially zero recourse if detained at the border

Fateh needs to win the reallocated votes by ~38, I think it comes down to whether Davis/Hampton 1st choicers had Fateh or no-one in 3rd place (likely not many Frey)

It’s definitely useful in Taiwan, politically relevant and encoded in statutes as well
But the benshengren/waishengren distinction matters a lot too and maps along ethnolinguistic lines (esp Mandarin vs Hokkien speakers)
(Someone with more detailed knowledge please correct me!)

Right and this is obvious when looking at stuff with lots of case law behind it
Just because 14AS3 lacks that doesn’t mean we’re obligated to drop in an existing definition of insurrection, we live in a common law regime

I guess my general position is that the Constitution sets theoretical standards but is mostly too vague to provide practical guidance alone. Congress/courts need to bridge that gap.

Another concern is that 14AS3 is “against the grain” in that applying it requires someone to make an ad hoc determination that a candidate otherwise eligible to the presidency should be barred. So even if it’s self executing in theory (I think it is) it is not so in practice.

I think there’s a pretty big perception issue here in that EP jurisprudence is very well developed (esp since ~1950) but 14AS3 is not, so all actors have more leeway to advocate their desired interpretation (or not, ie Congress)
