TL;DR Summary

Republican presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson suggests that former President Donald Trump may be disqualified from holding office due to his alleged involvement in the January 6 insurrection. Hutchinson points to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits individuals who engaged in insurrection from holding government office. Legal scholars have also argued that Trump's eligibility is in question. Hutchinson expects lawsuits to be filed and some states to take action, potentially putting Trump's qualification under the Constitution at serious jeopardy. However, Hutchinson is polling at just under 1% and is far behind Trump in the GOP race.
