8. Pardon , if Trump gave up the presidency because he is an insurrectist and made Kamala president elect

Tue Dec 3, 2024, 11:46 PM

Fourteenth amendment

Confederate loyalists
Prohibits those who "engaged in insurrection" against the United States from holding any civil, military, or elected office

Nope to Vance, that would be part of the deal of the pardon, since Trump was really ineligible, Vance is out too.
