A censure effort led by U.S. Sen. Susan Collins would bar former President Donald Trump from holding the office again while avoiding an impeachment trial, a Democrat drafting it with her said on Wednesday.

The proposal from Collins and Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, was criticized by some as toothless after it was first reported by Axios on Tuesday. But it was fleshed out in interviews over the course of Wednesday in which Democrats pitched the effort as a bid to disqualify the president from running again — perhaps without a trial.

Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, told reporters in Washington that Collins and Kaine’s censure will “include the elements of the 14th Amendment” — a response to the Civil War that says those who have engaged in insurrection against the country cannot serve in federal office and allows Congress to enforce that provision — “that lead to disqualification from future office.”

“This is an alternative that would impose, in my view, a similar consequence but it does not require a trial and it does not require a two-thirds vote,” Kaine told CNN on Wednesday. “That’s what I have drafted.”

The wording has not been finalized and the legal theory is questionable. It is also unclear whether it would gain enough support to move forward with Democrats looking to try the former president and his fellow Republicans generally resisting it. But the development could mark a major escalation from Collins, a Republican who opposed House Democrats’ first attempt to remove the former president from office last year and has not said how she would vote in the second impeachment trial against Trump to begin next month.

    • Yes, the left is forcing us into a counter-revolution... don't fall for it.  They will suspend the Constitution, declare martial law, suspend habeas corpus, and all due process... round us up like the Jews of WW2 and heard us all into death camps where the COVID Virus will take most of us and the rest will be shot trying to escape... millions are at risk and the wealthy billionaire is at the top of the list... the Marxist State needs his or her assets to fund their socialist boondoggle.

      Too, the wealthy billionaire... don't think for a moment that they will spare you... you are number 1 on the target list.  Your betrayal of the middle class has boomeranged... they are now so marginalized that they no longer present a formidable force for the defense of your ASS...ets.  Maybe you can throw your wallet at them as they haul you off to the gulag? 

    • Glad to see there are some people with their eyes wide open. These traitors must be dealt with by the people.!!!

    • The People are without effective leadership... they are unorganized, underfunded, and lack the resources to effectively deal with this coup... the pandemic has many distracted, others are without the resources to react and more are in a daze ... unable to comprehend that this can be happening.  What is needed are the Billionaires to stand up and fund a counter-revolution while the middle class is still capable of responding to their leadership and resourcing. 

      The Billionaires need to motivate the 27 Red State Governors and Legislatures to declare the 2020 election a fraud ... and then serve a Writ Quo Warranto on the Biden  Administration, Congress, and the Judiciary ...demanding they resign or face further legal sanctions and constitutional action... an Article 5 Convention whereby the Several States may suspend the Federal Government and institute new SAFEGUARDS against any further illegal usurpations of power by a rogue Federal Government can be called by the several states.

      We still have peaceful Constitutional means to resist and overturn this coup... it however requires immediate action and the backing of our nation's most wealthy to save us from ourselves.  

    • there are also those of us too old and disabled to do anything about it, including you, I believe.

    • I can still move around without help... just can't run very far or jump over fences, low crawl, rapidly rise from a fall... etc.   However, I have my wit and senses... and can maneuver as long as it isn't far, too hot, too cold, or in a swamp up to my neck in gators... that might pose a problem.

    • you are doing better than I am.  My left arm is totally paralyzed, I can walk, or limp, short distances with a cane and can only stand for a short time.  My mind is fine but my body is a trainwreck.

    • We are praying for your total recovery... by His stripes, you were healed over 2000 yrs ago... Christ bore our sicknesses our diseases, and INFIRMITIES on the Cross at Calvary.  We are the healed... we are the Body of Christ in the earth...even though it is not yet revealed we know when He appears we shall be as He IS... completely and perfectly whole and holy.

    • A sound mind is a very powerful tool and weapon... not many people can claim such a gift.  I may have overstated my physical condition as my heart can totally shut me down at times... and when under physical stress it frequently does... as long as I ease along I generally am ok.

    • Exactly! it might be worse than Nazi Germany because we are living in a different world and different time.

       

    • I say that you are Exatly Right..! Jeff Noncent... It WILL be FAR WORSE and Yes, Freedom Fighters For America, it MUST be dealt with by The People..! I don't know where our Military Stands or what orders they will take..?
