#14thamendment Section 3 bars from public office those officials who engage in “insurrection or rebellion” against the US.
Passed in the wake of the Civil War, Section 3 was deliberately drafted to encompass any future acts of insurrection or rebellion—such as those of Jan. 6.💥

🔥Danforth and Coleman: “There can be no serious dispute that Trump engaged in insurrection within the meaning of Section 3. While Trump did not himself storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, his actions leading up to and during that day’s events were central to the #insurrection.”
Danforth and Coleman: (Trump’s) actions amount to a historic attack on our democracy, an astonishing abuse of power and a violation of his oath of office — and they rise to the level of “#insurrection or rebellion.”
Trump must be BARRED FROM OFFICE NOW.

“Many @SenateGOP...acknowledged Trump’s grave misconduct...nonetheless voted to acquit on procedural grounds, The Constitution provides senators with a separate tailor-made tool for precisely the conduct for which they have condemned Trump. They should use it.”
