Expert: “Treasure trove” of documents debunks Trump claim that president isn’t an “officer” of US
...
Several examples show that both at the time of the Founding and the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, the term "officer of the United States" clearly encompassed the presidency, Heilpern pointed out, referring to his research.

These include an act of Congress that specifically identifies the president as an officer of the United States and presidential proclamations that specifically identify the president as the "chief executive officer of the United States" or "chief civil executive officer of the United States.”

In his brief to the Colorado Supreme Court, Trump stated that “despite the many words and citations that treat the President as an officer not one authority holds that the President is an officer of the United States no case, no statute, no record of Congressional debate, no common usage, no attorney general opinion."

However, Heilpern’s research suggests otherwise. The Postal Act of 1792, for example, specifically identifies the president as an officer of the United States. The language clearly states which “officers of the United States” should be granted a franking privilege – the ability to send mail by their signature rather than by postage – listing both the president and vice president as officers of the United States.

There are also several presidential proclamations written by President Andrew Johnson, who was in office during the drafting and ratification of the 14th Amendment. In these proclamations, he referred to himself as either the "chief executive officer of the United States" or the "chief civil executive officer of the United States," Heilpern explained.

In their research, Heilpern and co-author Michael Worley found a “couple of instances” in the impeachment trial of Johnson where the president is “implicitly or explicitly” referred to as an “officer of the United States.”

You would have thought this was obvious from the Oath of Office alone:

Quote
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:— "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."[2]

GOP Congressman Wanted Trump to Invoke ‘Marshall Law’ to Stay in Office: Leaked Texts
...
TPM report identifies a startling message from Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) to Meadows, sent on Jan. 17, 2021, just three days before Joe Biden was scheduled to take office.

In the text, Norman appears to propose that then-President Trump impose martial law — or, as Norman put it, “Marshall Law” — during his final hours of office to overturn the election in his favor.

“Mark, in seeing what’s happening so quickly, and reading about the Dominion law suits attempting to stop any meaningful investigation we are at a point of � no return � in saving our Republic !! Our LAST HOPE is invoking Marshall Law!! PLEASE URGE TO PRESIDENT TO DO SO!!” Norman wrote.
...
By Jan. 17, Greene told Meadows that several Republicans in Congress wanted Trump to declare martial law. She, too, appeared to think giving power to the military was named after a person named Marshall. “In our private chat with only Members, several are saying the only way to save our Republic is for Trump to call for Marshall law,”

Even though I am against 3D video games, I just had to post this:

Lauren Boebert demonstrates exemplary oratorical skills:

Boebert's education:

Of course we should not judge someone's intellect solely based on their education. But there are differences between self educated autodidacts like Adolf Hitler (who never graduated high school), and outright morons like Boebert.
