More than Two Dozen U.S. Historians have filed a Brief with the Supreme Court, in Support of efforts by States to Remove Trump from 2024 Ballot, arguing that the Constitution’s Insurrection Clause, applies to Trump.
The Filing was Signed by 25 decorated Historians whose areas of Expertise include: “the Civil War, Reconstruction, the Southern Redemption, and American History more broadly, including: politics, voting, and elections.” The Group said they “have professional interests in helping” the Supreme Court decide whether Section 3 of the 14th Amendment applies to a President, and whether such Implementation would require additional Action from Congress, “by appropriately analyzing probative historical evidence.”
In Section 3, the only Action of Congress, is the House and Senaste with a 2/3rd vote can Pardon Trump.
“For historians, contemporary evidence from the decision-makers who sponsored, backed, and voted for the 14th Amendment is most probative,” the Brief states. “Analysis of this evidence demonstrates that decision-makers crafted Section 3 to cover the President and to create an enduring check on insurrection, requiring no additional action from Congress.” Under Section 3, Officers are the President, Vice-President, and the Cabinet.
In December, 2023, the Colorado Supreme Court Ruled that Trump, should be Removed from the State’s Ballot because His Violations makes Him Ineligible for Office. The Amendment, Ratified in 1868 after the Civil War, states that Anyone who has engaged in “insurrection or rebellion” despite Swearing an Oath to Uphold the U.S. Constitution must be Prohibited from All Public Office.
According to the Historians, the Amendment’s Provision is “not limited to keeping ex-Confederates from holding federal or state offices.” Rather, they say, Section 3 of the 14th Amendment serves as a “guard against the corruption of government by anyone involved in future insurrections who had taken an oath to support the U.S. Constitution.”
Rioters Loyal to Trump Rally at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021. On Jan. 28, 2024, a Retired Judge recommended to Illinois Election Officials that Trump's Name should be Removed from the Illinois Primary Ballot, but that the Decision should be left to the Courts.
After Colorado’s Ruling, Trump’s Attorneys asked the U.S. Supreme Court to Overturn the State-Level Decision.
Currently, there are Legal Challenges questioning Trump’s Eligibility for Office in more than a dozen States. A Ruling by the Supreme Court would determine the Outcome of those Challenges. The Court is set to begin Hearing Arguments in the Case on Feb. 8.
As I read Section 3 of the 14th Admendment:
A Primary or Caucuses dosen't Elect a President, that is the General Election that Trump can't be a Candidste.
How to implement Section Three:
- Prevent a State Legislature from selecting Someone to a State position.
- Prevent a Governor from selecting Someone to a Temperary position until the Next or Special Election.
- Prevent a Governor from putting Someone on the General Election Ballot.
