Legal scholars increasingly raise constitutional argument that Trump should be barred from presidency
Prominent conservative legal scholars are increasingly raising a constitutional argument that 2024 Republican candidate Donald Trump should be barred from the presidency because of his actions to overturn the previous presidential election result.
The latest salvo came Saturday in The Atlantic magazine, from liberal law professor Laurence Tribe and J. Michael Luttig, the former federal appellate judge and a prominent conservative who’s become a strong critic of Trump’s actions after the election.
Not all in the legal community agree – and what the scholars are proposing would need to be tested in court.
Yet Luttig and Tribe’s writings capture a conversation about the Constitution and the 2021 insurrection that is likely to grow heading into the 2024 election season.
They and others base their arguments on a reading of part of the 14th Amendment, a post-Civil War provision that excludes from future office anyone who, previously, as a sworn-in public official, “engaged in insurrection or rebellion … or [had] given aid or comfort to the enemies” of the government.
The pair write: “Having thought long and deeply about the text, history, and purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment’s disqualification clause for much of our professional careers, both of us concluded some years ago that, in fact, a conviction would be beside the point.
“The former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and the resulting attack on the U.S. Capitol, place him squarely within the ambit of the disqualification clause, and he is therefore ineligible to serve as president ever again.”Comment

New lawsuit seeks to ban Donald Trump from running in 2024 election
A new lawsuit filed in a New Hampshire court seeks to disqualify former U.S. President Donald J. Trump from running in the 2024 election due to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. candidate.
The lawsuit, which was filed by John A. Castro, a comparatively lesser-known GOP presidential candidate from Texas, claims that because Trump “provided aid or comfort to insurrectionists” who stormed the Capitol, he is disqualified from holding or even pursuing any public office.
“My primary goal is to deny Trump a second term,” Castro told the Boston Globe.
Specifically, the lawsuit cites Section Three of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which bars any individual from running for public office if they provided aid or comfort to an insurrection against a U.S. authority.
The presidential hopeful is seeking an injunction from the Merrimack County Superior Court to prevent David Scanlan, the New Hampshire Secretary of State, from accepting or processing any documents toward a Trump candidacy.
The lawsuit comes in the midst of a national debate regarding whether Trump has the legal grounds to continue his 2024 bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
... if Trump survives this lawsuit, there will a dozen more just like it filed across the USA.
