House Republicans are exploring ways to prevent Zohran Mamdani from ever being sworn in as mayor even if he prevails in Tuesday’s election by using the Constitution’s “insurrection clause,” The Post has learned.
The New York Young Republican Club is pushing to prevent the NYC mayoral frontrunner from taking the oath of office Jan. 1 under an idea floated this summer.
It cites language in the post-Civil War 14th Amendment to the Constitution barring from office anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or who has “given aid or comfort to the enemies.” The group argues that Mamdani’s own statements calling to resist ICE could violate the prohibition.
It’s the same provision Colorado used to try to kick Trump off the ballot last year, only to get slapped down by the Supreme Court. The high court ruled that it was up to Congress to enforcement the amendment, giving majority Republicans a chance to test their authority.
Can’t win any way except to cheat.
As it has been prophesized for decades. Once the Republicans can no longer legally win they will cheat and steal to keep power. The constitution is only something to cudgel Democrats with, not something to honour.
More fascism.
Republicans explore everything other than actually fucking helping their constituents.
First Past The Post voting artificially limits the options for these people.
With STAR or Ranked Choice voting, voters would be free to vote how they want, secure in the knowledge that their vote will still be counted if their preference didnt win. We could give conservative voters a chance to elect better conservative parties then the republicans or democrats parties.

Sure republicans are anti democracy, but how about the democrats? Are they pro democracy? If so, why do they continue to use FPTP voting in states they control?
Why would they? It’s proven they can shit all over their voters and they’ll sit there and guzzle it down with their mouths agape in awe at their divine leaders.
MAGAts are a new breed of fucking moron cultist.
And the first thing they always seem to try is cheating.
Traitorous US government trying to figure out ways to screw American citizens and voters even harder. Fixed it for you. The USA has never been about 1 guy and should never be about 1 guy. That’s how you become Russia. How’s that going for them?
Does being about 1% of guys count?
And this is how they provoke an actual insurrection. Stay froggy, friends.
I wouldn’t recommend a frog suit. It’s hard to aim
Just like they are preventing the rep from Arizona? This is fucking INSANE!
No taxation without representation. If they dont honour the results, then you have no representation. And if you have no representation, then fuck them. They can sing for there taxes. The machine only works when you all play along. Stop playing. See how quickly anyone is willing to come to your door, when they arent getting paid to do so.
The power of people is only real power, when you all hold fast together. Let them threaten you. Let them jail you. Cos them money. And give them nothing until elections are fair and just.
New York Young Republican Club is being shut down because they are literally Nazis.
They aren’t going to do a fucking thing.
So… Just like most of Maga, right?
New York Post is absolute GARBAGE. Right-wing tabloid owned by Murdoch. Only place that would publish the hunter laptop conspiracy theory.
So the republicans are truly anti-democratic and this proves it. Fuxk fascists.
We have a tyrannical minority that is actively changing laws so they can remain in power indefinitely. We have a packed Supreme Court that is literally ignoring the Constitution when the reason they exist is to protect it. If they hadn’t made Trump king he would not be in office, he’d be in criminal court.
Republicans have been virulently anti-democracy for decades. As far as the GQP is concerned the majority can go fuck themselves.

I still can’t believe the whole country is seething about an NYC mayor election lmaoo.
Fact that they’re so scared of him tells me he’s doing something right.
It did not work for their glorious leader on Jan 6, why would it work now?
It’s not about what the law actually means, it’s about who is wielding the power
So, no more democracy…just violence? Come to think about it…that’s how the world has always worked. Touche!
American patriots exploring ways to prevent ALL Republican politicians from ever breathing free air again. The tides will turn and when they do…
Congress has to meet, and they already said it won’t until sometime in January. Within minutes of opening the session Johnson will be challenged for the speaker position and the house will devolve into chaos for another few weeks. It won’t be until February before they are able to take any action about anything.
You’re pretending anyone would hold them accountable…
Cuomo is working with trump, like literally, trump and other Republicans are advising Cuomo, that’s why he keeps running all their racist ads.
The NY Gov is still his old Lt Governor who took his post when he stepped down.
There’s a non-zero chance republicans and neoliberal unite to steal an election Mamdani wins.
We’ve got a good DNC, but some of the state parties still suck. nY is one of the worst, because all the money from Wall Street.
Don’t forget trump was a NYC neoliberal for decades, even had the Clintons at his wedding. We can’t count on them even to stay out of it.
“Republicans and neoliberals” is redunant.
It’s clearly not…
The wealthy were never going to just buy off one of the only two options, neoliberals are conservatives that insist having a D by their names means they’re different.
Literally the only way it means they’re different is they’re not republicans.
My point was that they are all neoliberals.
Edit: What the hell? Democrats and Republicans are neoliberals. They both participate in neoliberalism as it has been since, like, the 1970s/1980s. When everything started being dismantled.
Neoliberalism is an economic and political theory advocating for free-market capitalism with minimal government intervention, emphasizing privatization, deregulation, and free trade.
This tariff stuff does not change anything, imo.
Are you guys all neoliberalism supporters or something?
They’re not…
trump was a neoliberal for decades before the normal effects of aging set in, then he went full… Well full maga. Be cause he was raised by psychopath narcissists.
Take people like Johnson, Rubio and Cruz tho who got a couple decades left, they’re republicans.
Like, there’s not a huge amount of differences, but neoliberals are inarguably better than republicans.
That’s why I still voted for Clinton, Biden, and Harris, despite knowing I’d hate them as presidents and that a popular candidate would win easier.
Trump was neoliberal when he served the markets and had to adapt to them. Trump went truly fascist when he realized the markets could serve and adapt to him.

So, NAFTA, deregulating all sorts of industries, a lack of regulation on the tech industry, dismantling or not supporting unions, etc.

Neoliberalism is maintained with the two party system we have. And the two sides participate in the ratchet effect.
This is why both sides are going crazy over Zohran.
It feels like you are just using labels a bit wrong. I’m not arguing against your point, just your choice of labels. All these downvotes without proper explanation to help me understand is really lame.
It feels like you are just using labels a bit wrong
No …
You just have personal definitions that are different than everyone else, and you’re getting upset everyone trusts the dictionary more than you
And the government will remain shut down, people will go hungry
