Constitutional Implications of Insurrection and Election Disqualification

The chapter delves into the ambiguity surrounding insurrection in the Constitution and its implications on disqualifying individuals from office, notably discussing a recent Colorado case involving Donald Trump. It explores Supreme Court decisions on states' authority to exclude federal election candidates, the complexities of certifying elections, and the potential sway of individual state decisions on the election outcome. The conversation also touches on historical context, originalism, and the self-executing nature of the Constitution's provisions like Section 3.
