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.
Republicans explore everything other than actually fucking helping their constituents.
And the first thing they always seem to try is cheating.
Just like they are preventing the rep from Arizona? This is fucking INSANE!
How to get ahead in politics: Be a genuinely decent human being.
If only all of the other scumbags in politics didn’t make it so hard.
And this is how they provoke an actual insurrection. Stay froggy, friends.
That is the actual goal.
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.
So, they’re openly and brazenly ass-fucking the constitution right in our faces, knowing full-well that there isn’t anyone, or anything to stop them.
America is a possession now. Owned and operated by terrorists, for terrorists.
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.
I think that ICE will be sent to murder Zohran, if he doesn’t have a large enough bodyguard detail.
With this administration you need to move that red line up a couple of shades.
Also, widen the board and add religious symbols. Cross, swastika, and $ at the top, symbols like Confucianism and Anarchy are below the red line.
RFK is in danger of dropping below it as it is.
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.

Always have been.
I still can’t believe the whole country is seething about an NYC mayor election lmaoo.
On the other side of the ocean, plenty of people not even living on the same continent are cheering for Mamdani. Not because the mayor of NYC affects us directly, but because 1) he’s awesome and 2) if change starts with this mayoral election, tide may yet turn for the US as a whole. And of course 3) NYC is overly romanticized thanks to the American media my generation grew up on here in post-soviet Eastern Europe, plus it is awesome to visit. Maybe with Mamdani it can be awesome to live in again as well.
Yes. I also see Mamdani as hope for the us. That’s why billionaires are against him. That’s why the current admin is against him. He will inspire other young people to get involved with politics.
You don’t get it! Mamdani just doesn’t get 9/11 culture! He doesn’t even like Israel! He’s just not one of The Boys™
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!
Sounds like HR have too much time on their hands and should mind their own business.
American patriots exploring ways to prevent ALL Republican politicians from ever breathing free air again. The tides will turn and when they do…
I hope that includes the Republican Democrats because there sure seem to be a lot of them.
They should not get a free pass either.
