The court declined to take up an appeal to remove Trump based on the Constitution’s “insurrectionist ban.”
A lower court previously ruled that Michigan law does not give the secretary of state the power to determine Trump’s eligibility for the ballot under the 14th Amendment, which says anyone who took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution but then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” may no longer hold office.
