We’ve all been following the news about the Colorado Supreme Court and Maine’s top election’s decision to bar Trump from the state’s ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. This section prohibits individuals who have sworn an oath to support the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection” against it from holding office. However, how well do we really understand the nuances of this decision and its broader implications?
Join the Chicago Center on Democracy’s for the second installment of our lunch Q&A series. UChicago Law School professors Aziz Huq and Tom Ginsburg will be answering students’ questions about Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, the insurrection clause, and its impact on excluding former President Trump from the presidential ballot. They will also discuss how this ruling may influence others connected to the events of January 6th in the future.
This event is presented by the Chicago Center on Democracy.
