"Examining the Possibility: Trump's Disqualification from the Presidency after Jan. 6"
Some opponents argue that former President Donald Trump's role in the January 6 Capitol attack could disqualify him from returning to the White House based on the 14th Amendment's Section 3, which bars government officials who have "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" from holding office. Legal experts debate the chances of this disqualification, with potential lawsuits against state election officials and concerns about due process and equal protection. The enforcement mechanism is unclear, and it would require persuading or forcing election officials in Republican-leaning states to keep Trump off the ballot, potentially leading to a legal battle that could reach the conservative-dominated Supreme Court.
