The Hill Suggests Congress Block Trump From Office, Citing 14th Amendment After Second Impeachment and January 6 Findings
Dec 26, 2024, 05:22 PM
An opinion piece published by The Hill has sparked controversy, suggesting that Congress has the authority to block Donald Trump from taking office, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The article argues that an 'oath-breaking insurrectionist' is ineligible for the presidency, referencing Trump's second impeachment and findings from the January 6 Committee. Legal scholars and former editors from prestigious law reviews have reportedly supported this view, urging immediate congressional action. Critics have condemned the piece as an incitement to insurrection, arguing it undermines the democratic process and the results of the 2024 presidential election, which Trump won. The discourse reflects deep divisions within the political landscape as some Democrats express the need for bipartisan cooperation to address the implications of the article's claims.
