While not delving into accusations of insurrection or Trump’s actions surrounding the 2020 election outcome, the Court determined that the Constitution’s “insurrection clause” grants only Congress the power to disqualify presidential candidates.
This decision nullifies a previous Colorado ruling aimed at barring Trump from its ballot and impacts similar state-level challenges based on a 14th Amendment interpretation regarding eligibility post-insurrection oath.
