In the wake of Monday’s unanimous Supreme Court ruling, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) promised to “revive legislation” that would prevent anyone guilty of participating in an “insurrection” from running for president.
The ruling came after three states — Colorado, Maine, and Illinois — declared former President Donald Trump ineligible to appear on primary ballots, citing Section 3 (the insurrection clause) of the 14th Amendment.
“States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency,” the unanimous decision read in part — but since it left the door open for Congress to use legislation to enforce Section 3, Raskin declared his intent to do exactly that.
