Donald Trump has been declared ineligible to run for the presidency in the 2024 American elections, marking a historic moment in U.S. history. This decision comes as a significant setback for Trump following the January 2021 Capitol violence incident. The Supreme Court of Colorado has proclaimed Donald Trump unfit to contest presidential elections.
This unprecedented event signifies the first instance in American history where a former president has been deemed ineligible to participate in elections. Consequently, Trump will not be able to compete in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, utilizing the provisions of the 14th Amendment, Section 3 of the Constitution to declare a candidate ineligible for the presidency.
The Colorado Supreme Court delivered this verdict with a 4-3 majority decision. The 14th Amendment, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, involving ‘rebellion,’ prohibits an individual involved in insurrection from holding the highest office.
