The following paragraph is from the 14th Amendment of our Constitution.
3. 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.
Kerry took the oath and gave aid and comfort to the North Vietnamize while we were fight the war in Vietnam. It is plain and simple, he is not eligable! Jake |

The problem is that the way this is interpreted requires such a person to have been convicted of those acts. The opportunity was missed in the early 1970s, when (almost) everyone wanted to put Vietnam behind us. |
