Supreme Court Could Force States to Keep Trump on the 2024 Ballot
Supreme Court Could, Force States to Keep , Trump on the 2024 Ballot.
'Newsweek' reports that the United States Supreme Court
could potentially force all 50 states to keep former
President Donald Trump on the 2024 presidential ballot.
According to Jeffrey Clark, a former U.S. Department
of Justice assistant attorney general, the court
could cite Section 5 of the 14th Amendment.
Clark, who is currently facing charges for his alleged
involvement in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020
election, made the claim on One America News Network.

According to Clark, individual states should not
be allowed to decide whether Trump violated
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which he has
been accused of in a number of legal actions. .
In December, Colorado's Supreme Court ordered
Trump to be removed from the state's 2024 presidential
primary ballot, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Days after the Colorado ruling, Maine Secretary of State
Shenna Bellows reached the same conclusion, ordering
Trump's name to be removed from the state's 2024 ballot. .
Clark argues that Trump has not been charged or
convicted of insurrection in a criminal court, which would
mean that neither Section 5 nor Section 3 are applicable. .
There's Section 5 of the 14th Amendment,
which gives Congress the power to enforce
the rest of the 14th Amendment and it looks
like the enforcement mechanism that they
chose is a federal criminal statute for
insurrection which, of course,
President Trump has not been
charged with let alone convicted of, Jeffrey Clark, Former U.S. Department of Justice

'Newsweek' reports that Clark went on
to suggest that the matter will end up
being decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. .
There's only one court that can speak
with finality about the meaning of
that provision of the Constitution
and that's the U.S. Supreme Court, Jeffrey Clark, Former U.S. Department of Justice
