Conservative Law Professors Argue Trump's Disqualification from Holding Office

Two conservative law professors, William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen, argue that Donald Trump is disqualified from holding office again due to Section Three of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits anyone who engaged in insurrection from holding government office. The provision can only be lifted by a two-thirds vote from each House of Congress. Baude and Paulsen concluded that Trump violated this provision through his actions surrounding the 2020 election and the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Their article provides a foundation for potential lawsuits on this constitutional issue that could reach the Supreme Court.
