Congress: Invoke Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to Disqualify Donald Trump from Public Office

Summary:
We, the undersigned, call upon Congress and state election officials to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States from holding public office. We urge the responsible authorities to take the necessary legal actions to ensure this constitutional provision is upheld.

The Constitution’s 14th Amendment, Section 3, explicitly disqualifies any individual who has previously taken an oath of office to support the Constitution from holding public office if they have engaged in insurrection, rebellion, or provided aid to the nation’s enemies. This amendment was designed to protect the integrity of our democracy and ensure that those who violate their oath of office cannot hold positions of power.

Evidence from the events of January 6, 2021, and subsequent investigations demonstrates that Donald Trump incited and supported actions that sought to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power—an essential tenet of our constitutional democracy. His actions constitute a clear violation of the principles outlined in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

We demand that Congress, state election officials, and the judiciary take all necessary steps to uphold the Constitution by invoking Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. This includes barring Donald Trump from appearing on any ballot or holding public office in the future.

Our democracy depends on accountability and adherence to the rule of law. We urge immediate action to enforce the Constitution and protect the United States from further harm.

Call to Action:
Sign this petition to demand that our elected and appointed officials take action to uphold the Constitution and disqualify Donald Trump from public office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
