Democrats, desperate to defeat a resurgent former President Donald Trump, are dusting off the 14th Amendment's disqualification clause, largely dormant for 155 years, with a ridiculous legal theory to remove him from the ballot before the 2024 presidential election.
Fearing their two impeachments, four bogus indictments and several frivolous civil cases - blatant lawfare and election interference by Democrats - will not stop Mr. Trump on Nov. 5, 2024, Democrats and some Trump-deranged Republicans are pushing their legal theory that Mr. Trump is disqualified from running for office under the disqualification clause of the post-Civil War 14th Amendment.
Their theory is that Mr. Trump's challenge to the 2020 election, the Jan. 6 protest, and the resulting riot was an "Insurrection." Thus, Democrats pretend Section 3 of the 14th Amendment disqualifies Mr. Trump from running for president in 2024.
There is no evidence of an insurrection or rebellion on Jan. 6 under the 14th Amendment's Civil War meaning.
Section 5 of the 14th Amendment gives Congress - not partisan state officials - the power to determine what qualifies as insurrection or rebellion.
Pursuant to Congress' Section 5 powers under the 14th Amendment, Congress passed a criminal statute - the Enforcement Act of 1871, or "The Ku Klux Klan Act" - with a disqualification provision.
Booting Mr. Trump from the ballot, based upon a bogus legal theory of a Civil War amendment's disqualification clause, is a republic-ending tactic.
