This decision is the third in lawsuits against Trump, the initiators of which refer to this amendment.
A judge in Colorado, USA, found that ex-President Donald Trump incited the riots on January 6, 2021. However, he was allowed to run in the 2024 presidential elections.
AP agency writes about this.
It is noted that the decision was provoked by the fact that it is not clear whether the amendment to the US Constitution prohibiting rebels from holding public office applies to the presidency, the AP agency reports.
This decision is the third in lawsuits against Trump, the initiators of which refer to this amendment.
“Under the 14th Amendment, ratified after the Civil War, U.S. officials who have sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution cannot hold office in the future if they have “engaged in rebellion.” However, the Constitution does not say how to enforce this prohibition , and it has only been used twice since 1919, so many experts consider these challenges unlikely,” the report said.
Let us remember that former US President Donald Trump, who again wants to return to the White House, caused a negative reaction by comparing his political opponents to “parasites” who need to be destroyed. Because of this statement, Trump was compared to dictators Hitler and Mussolini.
US ex-President Donald Trump will become the biggest danger to the world in 2024 if he is elected president again.
