Democrats who are floating the idea of using the 14th Amendment as a means to remove former President Trump from the 2024 ballot is a partisan judgment, Sen. Tom Scott said.
The 14th Amendment, enacted in 1868 primarily to grant citizenship to former slaves, includes a "Disqualification Clause" that stipulates candidates vying for congressional or presidential office must not have participated in "insurrection or rebellion" against the U.S., or provided "aid and comfort to the enemies thereof."
