"Examining the 14th Amendment's Impact on 2024 Election Eligibility"

The disqualification of former President Donald Trump from the 2024 election ballot in several states hinges on whether the U.S. Supreme Court deems the president as an “officer of the United States” under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Legal experts are divided on this issue, with some arguing that the president is covered by the amendment's prohibition, while others disagree, citing the appointments clause in the Constitution. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case on Feb. 8, and the outcome could have significant implications for Trump's eligibility to run for president in 2024.
