1 year agoIt’s silly but there is a constitutional debate on if this applies to the president. The only group that Trump falls under is “as an officer of the United States” and people are debating on if that technical applies to the President.
There are enough technicalities and the SC almost certainly does not want to rule on this. If the SC has to rule on this, Trump will be allowed on the ballot (unfortunately) and the SC will not make a ruling on if Trump did or did not engage in insurrection.
This might be one of the unintended side effects of the law. If you have a low balance account or a ‘bad’ credit rating. Banks might simply stop offering debit cards that work on credit card stations.
This probably won’t happen unless overdraft fees are underwriting the risk of unpaid overdrafts. I’m not sure how many people just cancel or abandon accounts that go negative. I’d guess that it’s low but only banks would have the actual numbers.
