The Hill Argues Congress Can Use 14th Amendment's Section 3 to Block Trump, Raskin Cited
Dec 26, 2024, 02:25 PM
An opinion piece published by The Hill suggests that Congress has the authority to prevent Donald Trump from assuming the presidency under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which states that an oath-breaking insurrectionist is ineligible to hold office. The article argues that lawmakers must act swiftly to block Trump from taking office. This proposal has sparked controversy, with some commentators labeling it as an attempt to subvert the election results. Representative Jamie Raskin has previously mentioned using the 14th Amendment to disqualify Trump, indicating a potential strategy for Democrats to challenge Trump's eligibility on January 6, 2025.
