•14th Amendment won’t keep Trump from presidency
82% Informative
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment prohibits anyone who engaged in insurrection against the U.S. from holding federal or state office.
The Supreme Court in March ruled that the rule’s enforcement must come through an act of Congress .
Legal scholars say there's no sign Congress will enforce Section 3 to stop President-elect Trump from becoming president.
The U.S. Supreme Court left ambiguous whether enforcement requires specific legislation, legal experts say.
Some scholars disagree that the court’s ruling means Congress has the exclusive authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment .
Under the procedures the Supreme Court set out, it's nearly certain Trump won’t be blocked from taking office.
