The Application of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and Disqualification of Donald Trump

The podcast explores the potential disqualification of Donald Trump from holding public office based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. This section states that anyone who has engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution of the United States is constitutionally ineligible to hold office. Recent cases involving Section 3 have included the removal of an individual from public office after their participation in the January 6th insurrection. The application of Section 3 to Donald Trump is being discussed, and it may ultimately be decided by state and federal courts, potentially making its way to the United States Supreme Court. The podcast highlights the importance of this constitutional issue and emphasizes that disqualification under the 14th Amendment is not anti-democratic, but rather addresses the conduct of insurrection or rebellion as being anti-democratic.
