TL;DR Summary

The challenge to former President Donald Trump's eligibility to run for office in Colorado under the 14th Amendment's disqualification clause is set to be reviewed by the state's Supreme Court. The provision states that those who engaged in insurrection against the Constitution after swearing an oath to support it cannot hold federal or state office. The Colorado Supreme Court will consider a bid from voters to keep Trump off the state's presidential primary ballot, with oral arguments scheduled for Wednesday. The question of Trump's eligibility is expected to eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court.
