Bill,
while the Trump lawyers brilliantly made multiple arguments that complimented each other
LOL, if the president isn't an "officer of the U.S." (his 1st argument) then there is no need to argue whether Congress has the power to decide the issue or not (his 3rd argument), because there is no "issue" to discuss at all.

And if the president never participated in an insurrection (his 2nd argument), then it shouldn't matter whether the president is an "officer of the U.S." or not because said "officer" or "quasi-officer" was never an insurrectionist to begin with.

And if Section 3 of the 14th amendment only applies to being able to serve as president but doesn't apply to being on the ballot, then none of the other arguments even matter, as none of them apply to Trump being able to remain on the ballot.

None of them are consistent with each other. Like I said, it's a shotgun approach that is employed out of desperation.
And none of those stated Trump was above the law
Again, many parts of the Constitution apply to "officers of the U.S."

If the president isn't an "officer of the U.S.," then the Constitution doesn't apply.

Since the Constitution is the highest law of the land, if it doesn't apply to Trump as president, then that essentially places Trump above the law.

It's a consistent theme that Trump makes in just about everything he says and does, from court cases to the campaign trail to even some of his questionable actions when he was president.

If the shoe fits ...
