Trump’s Potential Return Sparks MAGA Fury
Following Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, legal scholars Evan Davis and David Schulte argued that Democrats could constitutionally block his certification based on his alleged involvement in the January 6th insurrection, citing the 14th Amendment. Their argument centers on the amendment’s disqualification clause for those who have engaged in insurrection against the United States. While the Supreme Court rejected a state’s attempt to bar Trump from the ballot, Davis and Schulte contend that Congress retains the power to act on this constitutional ground during certification. Despite this proposal, leading Democrats have thus far rejected any efforts to block Trump’s inauguration.
