WASHINGTON, D.C. – If former U.S. President Trump wins the November election and becomes the 47th President of the United States, one U.S. Congressman says a plan is in place to stop him from taking office.
U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin has sparked controversy by stating that Congress has the authority to prevent Donald Trump from assuming office, even if he wins the election, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Raskin said the Democrats could force a January 6th insurrection, which he said would possibly lead to a civil war.
This constitutional clause, which addresses issues related to insurrection and rebellion, is at the center of Raskin’s argument. He suggests that it clearly disqualifies Trump, although the Supreme Court has yet to definitively interpret this aspect in relation to Trump’s eligibility.

“What can be put into the Constitution can slip away from you very quickly. The greatest example going on right now before our very eyes is Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which they’re just disappearing with a magic wand as if it doesn’t exist, even though it could not be clearer what it’s stating,” Raskin said. “And so they want to kick it to Congress. So it’s going to be up to us on January sixth, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified. And then we need bodyguards for everybody in civil war conditions, all because the nine justices, not all of them, but these justices who have not many cases to look at every year, not that much work to do, a huge staff, great protection, simply do not want to do their job and interpret what the Great 14th Amendment means.”
Raskin warned of potential civil unrest, emphasizing the need for heightened security measures for Congress members should such a scenario unfold on January 6, 2025, when Congress is expected to certify the presidential election results. His comments underline the tension between judicial interpretation and legislative action regarding constitutional provisions.
The congressman’s remarks have intensified the debate over the constitutional checks on presidential power and electoral integrity, calling for a detailed examination and interpretation of the 14th Amendment by the judiciary. This discussion is likely to prompt responses from both sides of the aisle as the political implications of such a constitutional interpretation unfold.

Toms River Cuts Ties with EMS Company Amid Investigation
TOMS RIVER, NJ – Toms River has cut ties with Silverton EMS, a paid squad, amid a criminal investigation into financial misconduct allegations.
These allegations, involving potential criminal financial irregularities, were presented to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office by township officials. Mayor Dan Rodrick emphasized the necessity of this action, assuring that it will not compromise the township’s EMS services.
Silverton EMS has been under scrutiny for financial issues spanning over five years and three administrative periods. The firm, which transitioned from a volunteer squad to a paid service over a decade ago, operates as a non-governmental entity and charges patients through their health insurance.
The town’s leadership has historically grappled with Silverton’s operations.
In 2018, then-Mayor Thomas Kelaher attempted to sever ties due to conflicts over state bidding laws and financial practices, only for Mayor Maurice Hill to reinstate them without a formal contract the following year.
Currently, the township has bolstered its EMS capabilities, as stated by Mayor Rodrick, with an increase in EMTs and ambulances, ensuring uninterrupted service. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, adhering to its policy, has not commented on the ongoing investigation.
Kevin Geoghegan, a former Toms River Council President and current head of Silverton EMS, maintains his innocence in this evolving financial controversy.
