Trump Is Disqualified From Holding Office, Conservative Law Professors Argue

Conservative law professors William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen argue that Donald Trump is disqualified from holding office again under Section Three of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits individuals who have engaged in insurrection from holding government office. They contend that Trump's involvement in the events surrounding the 2020 election and the January 6 insurrection disqualify him from running for president or holding any public office unless granted amnesty by a two-thirds vote from Congress.
Baude and Paulsen's analysis of Section Three emphasizes its continued relevance today, despite its historical context following the Civil War.
