Conservative law professors who are active members of the Federalist Society have determined that Trump is not eligible to be President or hold public office due to violating Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution; “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof“.

Judge Luttig: Trump disqualification ‘does not require a criminal conviction’

As lawsuits in multiple states seeking to disqualify Trump from the ballot in 2024 pick up steam, Judge J. Michael Luttig joins Ali Velshi to discuss the debate surrounding the 14th Amendment’s disqualification clause, the argument being made by Trump’s lawyers in response to the cases, and why lawyers and the public have misunderstood the wording of Section 3. “Frankly, all parties to this different litigation in the various states, to this point, have misunderstood Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. As I said, it disqualifies one who has engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution of the United States. It does not, by its term, disqualify one who has engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States or the authority of the United States… and there is a world of constitutional difference between those two.”

 

According to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment Trump isn’t qualified to to run for President in 2024 due to having “Engaged in an insurrection”.

Donald Trump is ALREADY DISQUALIFIED under the 14th Amendment from being president again

Constitutional scholars, both conservative and liberal, both Republican and Democrat, are unifying behind one position: section 3 of the 14 Amendment disqualifies Donald Trump from holding any federal office in the future, including the presidency, because he engaged in an insurrection against the United States, after taking an oath to support the Constitution.

Scholars say the constitutional disqualification is self-executing, requiring no act of Congress, no act of any state legislature, and no court proceeding, civil or criminal. Indeed, it is automatically disqualifying, just as someone who is 34 years old is automatically disqualified from being president.

This video breaks down, in layman’s terms, the arguments made in a length law review article authored by two conservative constitutional law professors, William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen.
