Legal Scholars Make Constitutional Case Against Trump's Eligibility for Office After Jan. 6

  • Two conservative law professors argue Trump is ineligible for office under the 14th Amendment due to his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
  • The professors' findings are detailed in a forthcoming article in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review.
  • They conclude Trump engaged in insurrection through his actions and inaction on Jan. 6.
  • The 14th Amendment prohibits those involved in insurrection from holding office without Congressional amnesty.
  • The article suggests the provision could prompt lawsuits challenging Trump's eligibility if he runs again.
