In a recent segment on The Rashad Richey Morning Show , Fearless Leader and humanitarian activist Richard Rose , along with attorney Wayne Kendall , to discuss the legal intricacies of removing a public official from office.

    The focus of the conversation was on Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones , who, according to Mr. Rose, violated his oath of office by signing on as a fake elector in the 2020 presidential election. The argument being made is that Mr. Jones should be disqualified from holding any future political office, including his current position, without a 2/3 majority vote from Congress to restore his eligibility.

    Attorney Kendall elaborated on the legal basis for the case, stating that the 14th Amendment specifically disqualifies individuals who engage in insurrectionist activities from holding office. He highlighted the distinction between Mr. Jones, a current officeholder, and former President Trump, a candidate at the time of the alleged violation. Mr. Kendall emphasized that the 14th Amendment only applies to state officeholders, giving them the authority to challenge Mr. Jones's eligibility.

    The conversation delved into the complexities of the legal process, with Mr. Kendall explaining the appellate court's role in determining the outcome of the case. He also addressed the potential implications of disqualifying Mr. Jones from office, raising questions about the validity of his actions as an elected official moving forward.

    One intriguing aspect of the discussion was the revelation that only Mr. Jones, as an elected official at the time of the fake elector document signing, could face consequences under the 14th Amendment. Mr. Kendall clarified that individuals who were not in office at the time would not be subject to the same penalties, demonstrating a unique legal distinction in cases of political misconduct.
