The Supreme Court will hear Thursday whether former President Trump should be barred from becoming president again under the 14th Amendment .
Julian Zelizer : The case might also affect if President Joe Biden could be banned from office.
He says Section 3 of the Constitution bars anyone from running for any office but only from holding office (under certain conditions) Zelizer says Congress has authority to remove disability by a vote of two-thirds of each chamber.
If the lame-duck Congress voted not to remove the disability, could the new Congress vote to remove it? A related question is whether a congressional vote is valid for the lifetime of a candidate.
If Congress removes a Section 3 disability, is it for all offices? Could a Congress vote against removing the disability for one office, such as governor, but not remove it for another office?.
