Should Pence be disqualified as a candidate for POTUS?

The thread is should Mike Pence be allowed to run for office since he would not testify relative to the January 6th insurrection - (tourist visit as our Republican friends like to call it).

His testimony would set the record straight, but should that disqualify him from running for office?

Do we want our politicians to be more transparent or should they be allowed to keep intimate knowledge of political events of this nature private?

[Cody69]

No I didn't think he should be. I think he should have Sarah Palin as his running mate. They make the perfect team.

[snoopy75]

No. I think we need another 2 years of January 6th hearings, produced by Hollywood and on every channel.

Quote the US Constitution where it states a reason he should be disqualified?

Waaa, waaaaaa, waaaaaa, we don't like him, so he can't play ball with us.

Like any Conservative ever wanted him to begin with.

Poor choice, and Trump should have picked a replacement in 2020.

Pence was in Congress for years, then he was Governor of Deep Red Indiana before becoming trump's VP. Obviously, he's popular among conservatives, just not among the cult as of Jan 6, 2021, when he wouldn't help trump break the law.

It’s a (semi)free country, Pence can waste as much of his time and money as he wants on a campaign that will go nowhere.

Funny and true;

I just wanted to get a sense of if you felt ppl who have knowledge of improprieties; who could share light on them to offer up plausible deniability or confirm that there was nefarious intent, should in fact be required to tell what they know?

As public servants, do they not have an obligation to reply / respond to an inquiry by congressional oversight and a subpoena?

I know that most conservatives don't like that happening from a guy on their side, but what if the shoe/ is/ will be on the other foot. Will it be ok if lets say Republicans decide to subpoena dems on issues that are pending?

Or are all politicians simply able to defy inquiry and oversight?

[Charley3]

Hell no he shouldn’t be disqualified. He’s a decent man that said no to the big orange turd.

Oh, so now you are thinking for conservatives as well?

I thought you just hated them, and now you know our minds?

Hold that thought, because if you really believe that, there are going to be a lot of Dems being held in contempt of congress when they refuse to testify like Steve Bannon, and, of course the DOJ is going to prosecute them too?

[Devo]

Remember for decades there were ZERO prosecutions for contempt of congress, I'm betting that policy is going to go back into effect.

[Jacuzzme]

I’d consider Contempt of Congress a badge of honor, since the entire body is contemptible. Short a small handful of true patriots, DC politicians are only in it to enrich themselves and their families. They couldn’t care less about improving the country for the average citizen. Fuck them all, and the limousines they rode in on.

I agree in theory, but, will the DOJ be weaponized against both parties or, just one?
