The original 14th Amendment, which could potentially bar former President Donald Trump from the ballot in Colorado, is set to be the focus of Supreme Court arguments. The amendment, housed in the National Archives, is carefully preserved due to its sensitivity to light and humidity. A senior archivist guided a journalist through the process of finding and viewing the historic document, shedding light on the significance of this Civil War-era revision to the U.S. Constitution in shaping future presidential elections.
