Minnesota Supreme Court to Decide on Donald Trump's Eligibility
The Minnesota Supreme Court is currently hearing oral arguments regarding Donald Trump's eligibility to be on the state's presidential ballot. A petition has been filed to determine whether Trump's actions during the January 6th insurrection disqualify him from holding office under the 14th Amendment. The Secretary of State has asked for a ruling by early January, as printing ballots would need to be done accordingly. The court's decision could have significant implications for the upcoming election and the interpretation of terms like 'office' and 'officer of the United States' in the Constitution.
