Donald Trump v. Norma Anderson is being heard in the Supreme Court on a 14th Amendment case.
Julian Zelizer : The framers of Section 3 would not have considered that question because in 1866 , ballots as we know them today did not exist.
Zelizer says the framers intended for Section 3 to be self-executing, but the history offers no guidance on how to disqualify.
