"Examining the Case for Disqualifying Trump from the Presidential Ballot"

Historians Jill Lepore and David Blight support Colorado's decision to remove Donald Trump from the presidential ballot, citing the 14th Amendment's Section 3, which disqualifies individuals who engaged in insurrection. They argue that the historical context of the amendment's drafting supports its application to current events, and emphasize the importance of upholding the Constitution's original intention and public understanding. The Supreme Court is set to hear the case, which raises questions about the amendment's applicability to the president and who has the authority to decide disqualification.
