The court may take several off-ramps to avoid a definitive ruling, including interpreting the 14th Amendment narrowly, deferring to Congress, emphasizing procedural due process, delaying a decision, or invoking the political question doctrine. Each option has potential benefits and drawbacks, with implications for Trump's eligibility and the broader political landscape.
