"Supreme Court's Ambiguous Ruling on Trump Raises Concerns Over Presidential Powers"

TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court's decision to allow Donald Trump's name on the ballot for the 2024 election left key constitutional questions unanswered, including the process for disqualifying a candidate for insurrection under the 14th Amendment and other eligibility requirements. The opinion did not address how to deal with "insurrectionist" candidates for state office, potentially leading to future disputes. The decision also raised concerns about a potential constitutional crisis if Trump wins the election and faces disqualification attempts, while leaving ambiguity on the role of Congress in enforcing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
