Is Trump eligible to run for office?

CERL Affiliated Faculty Kermit Roosevelt joined WHYY to discuss the question of whether the Colorado Supreme Court can remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot. According to Prof. Roosevelt, a strong argument can be made that Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, known as the “insurrection clause,” bars Trump from running for office.

Kermit Roosevelt is the David Berger Professor for the Administration of Justice at Penn Carey Law School. He is also a member of CERL’s Affiliated Faculty. Read his bio here.
