Senator: 'Powerful argument' 14th Amendment could disqualify Trump,
Sen. Tim Kaine said told "ABC News" on Sunday "there's a strong contention to be made" for banning Donald Trump from the official polling form in light of the fourteenth Amendment's restriction on insurrectionists serving in a position of authority.
"My sense is it's most likely going to get settled in the courts," Kaine said on "ABC This Week," adding that liberals' attention ought to be on winning in 2024.
Legitimate specialists have highlighted the fourteenth Amendment as a possible remote chance road to hold Trump back from becoming president. The revision incorporates a post-Nationwide conflict "preclusion proviso" that bars anybody from serving in a position of authority if they "have participated in revolt or defiance." The Constitution doesn't, in any case, illuminate how to implement this boycott and it has just been applied two times since the last part of the 1800s, when it was utilized widely against previous Confederates.
