The constitutional case to ban Trump from the presidency

Two conservative lawyers have made the case that the 14th Amendment bars former President Donald Trump from seeking the Oval Office again. They believe Section 3, which bars anyone who “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof” applies to Trump. The position is a contentious one and has drawn much attention and ire.
