Law professors: ‘Insurrection’ disqualifies Trump in 2024President Donald Trump should be blocked from the presidency in 2024 because of his role in an “insurrection” according to several law professors.But the arguments for and against invoking the 14th Amendment to stop Trump have created an odd situation, where some of the president’s backers are considered left-leaning professors while some of his detractors are right-leaning scholars.The 14th Amendment “disqualifies former President Donald Trump, and potentially many others, because of their participation in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 presidential election,” University of Chicago Professor William Baude and University of St. Thomas Professor Michael Paulsen wrote.“Overall, it seems to us to be quite clear that the specific series of events leading up to and culminating in the January 6, 2021 attack qualifies as an insurrection within the meaning of Section Three: ‘concerted, forcible resistance to the authority of government to execute the laws in at least some significant respect,’” the two Federalist Society-affiliated professors wrote in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review.“The most politically explosive application of Section Three to the events of January 6, is at the same time the most straightforward,” the pair wrote. “In our view, on the basis of the public record, former President Donald J. Trump is constitutionally disqualified from again being President (or holding any other covered office) because of his role in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 election and the events leading to the January 6 attack.”The pair went through the reasons to support their theory, including the president’s “incendiary address at the White House Ellipse.”Although they write that Trump never actually encouraged people to fight, that “[some] of his statements were ambiguous, that he told protesters to march “peacefully and patriotically” and “never directly and literally called for attacking the Capitol or the Vice President” he is still guilty of aiding in the insurrection.
