Is there a Traitor in the House? 14th Amendment Blueprint for Congressional Expulsion

No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State,to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XIV, Section 3.

What this means is that members of either Branch of Congress – both the Senate or the House – may be expelled if any one of them engages in insurrection or rebellion against the United States. As a requirement to hold an esteemed office, members are required to swear a solemn “oath” under God, to “uphold” the U.S. Constitution and pledge their allegiance to the United States, against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Congressional Oath of Office:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

Oath of Office for U.S. Senate and House Members

Clearly, if it is proven that any member of Congress gave reconnaissance tours to purported insurrectionists as reported to have occurred the “day before” the Capitol siege on January 6th – if accurate, such traitorous renegade lawmakers could be expelled and stripped of the privilege to serve as “Honorable” members of Congress. They also could be criminally prosecuted if it is proven they knowingly engaged in a conspiracy to aid and abet the insurrectionists, resulting in the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick.

Troubling Acts that Point Toward a Conspiracy from the Inside

It is troubling to learn that Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley’s office panic button appears to have been “mysteriously” removed at some point before the riotous siege. The removal was discovered when members of her staff frantically moved furniture in front of office doors to block would-be attackers from gaining entrance. It was at this point in the siege when staff discerned the unauthorized removal of the emergency alert system. To add to the appearance of a conspiracy to imperil Democratic lawmakers, Congressman James Clyburn found upon his arrival earlier that morning the absence of a security perimeter by Capitol Police when it was widely known there could be mob violence later that day. Congressman Clyburn’s skepticism about their being adequate security, turned to anguish, when an unmarked office he regularly used had been the target of the riotous attack. These  validating events supported his suspicions of this attempted coup being an inside job – a full-fledged conspiracy to uproot Democracy & frighten or harm lawmakers. This theory was supported when reports of locked side-doors of the Capitol being opened from the inside – allowing the unruly mob to gain access. It was also supported when a man with zip-tie handcuffs was found inside Capitol chambers, and a hangman’s noose was erected outside on Capitol grounds.

So What’s in an Oath?
