Proclamation Explained: “Excluding Donald Trump’s Name from the Presidential Ballot under the 14th Amendment Section 3”

In a significant turn of events, a proclamation has been issued to the 48 Secretaries of the States and 2 Lieutenant Governors, urging them not to include Donald John Trump’s name on the official ballot for the President of the United States for the Americas. The rationale behind this proclamation lies in the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, specifically Section 3. This section, while historically invoked in cases of rebellion and insurrection, is being cited to support the exclusion of Donald Trump from the presidential ballot. Let’s delve into the details of this proclamation and the reasoning behind its application. The 14th Amendment Section 3: The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified in 1868 and addresses various issues pertaining to citizenship, equal protection under the law, and the due process of law. Section 3 of this amendment, however, deals specifically with individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or have given aid and comfort to its enemies. The section reads: “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” <a href="https://medium.com/@lovefoods_54026/proclamation-explained-excluding-donald-trumps-name-from-the-presidential-ballot-under-the-14th-9c0b9418052d">Click Here</a>
