"Trump's Constitutional Conundrum: From Obscurity to Supreme Court"

TL;DR Summary
Two long-neglected sentences in the 14th Amendment, prohibiting those who "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" from holding office, have resurfaced to ensnare former President Donald Trump. This has led to a historic case before the U.S. Supreme Court, marking the first time in history that the court has heard a case on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The clause's revival is attributed to an unlikely combination of Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, all rediscovering 111 words in the nation's foundational legal document that have now become a threat to Trump's attempt to return to office.
