Some legal scholars and activists say an obscure provision of the Constitution, dating back to just after the Civil War, should disqualify Donald Trump from a second White House term.
in September, there is a"textual commitment in the Constitution" that should be reckoned with now, given the stakes if Trump is reelected.
David Frum, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush who now writes for The Atlantic, argues that using the 14th Amendment would just perpetuate existing problems — like making it harder for secretaries of state to safeguard elections or for the public to accept their results. His answer:"I wouldn't want to be a secretary of state right now making any decisions any more than I'd want to be a justice on the U.S. Supreme Court."
In New Hampshire, for example, a group of GOP lawmakers wrote to Secretary of State David Scanlan, also a Republican, countering the 14th Amendment argument and asking him to ensure Trump will be on the ballot.
