"Supreme Court Upholds Trump's Ballot Eligibility in Colorado Case"

TL;DR Summary
The US Supreme Court overturned Colorado's decision to disqualify Donald Trump from its Republican primary ballot, ruling that only Congress can enforce the 14th Amendment's provision against federal officeholders and candidates. The decision came a day before Colorado's presidential primary and benefits Trump's candidacy for the Republican nomination in the Nov. 5 US election. The ruling disappointed Colorado's Secretary of State, who expressed disappointment at the limits on state powers to enforce the disqualification clause.
