Crew represents six Colorado voters ā€“ Republican or unaffiliated ā€“ seeking to remove Trump from ballot over Capitol attack

A watchdog group is suing to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot, saying he violated the constitution and is disqualified from holding future office.

The lawsuit is so far one of the strongest challenges to Trumpā€™s eligibility to seek re-election.

According to the lawsuit filed on Wednesday, the former president violated section 3 of the 14th amendment, also known as the Disqualification Clause, with his involvement in the January 6 US Capitol attack. The section bars any federal or state official that has ā€œpreviously taken an oathā€ from holding office after they ā€œengaged in insurrection or rebellionā€.

    Defeating Trump with a technicality would mean weā€™d never hear the end of it. Heā€™s insufferable enough as it is

      A technicality would been like if the Republicans were about forcing the release of his tax returns in 2016.
      This is about the opposite of a technicality.

      Just respond to the whiners with ā€œwell, MAYBE donā€™t have a traitor be your presidential candidate next time.ā€
