DONALD Trump In Trouble, Might Not Be Sworn In As President; SEE Why
Donald Trump’ s potential presidency is facing a significant hurdle, as experts argue that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution bars him from holding office. The amendment states that anyone who has engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution is ineligible to hold federal or state office.
The controversy surrounding Trump’ s eligibility stems from his alleged role in inciting the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol. Trump’ s second impeachment trial, a Colorado judicial hearing, and a bipartisan House Select Committee inquiry have all concluded that Trump engaged in insurrection against the Constitution.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, also known as the Disqualification Clause, prohibits individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion from holding office. This clause was ratified after the Civil War to prevent former Confederates from holding public office. While the clause does not explicitly mention the presidency, experts argue that the term ” office” encompasses the presidency.
The Supreme Court recently ruled in Trump v. Anderson that states lack the power to enforce Section 3 against federal officeholders or candidates. However, this ruling does not necessarily preclude Congress from rejecting electoral votes based on the 14th Amendment disqualification.
