The 14th Amendment, Section 3, is a powerful but little-used constitutional provision that bars individuals from holding office if they have engaged in 'insurrection or rebellion' against the United States or given 'aid or comfort' to its enemies. We believe that the events surrounding the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, have cast serious doubts on Trump's fidelity to the Constitution he once swore to uphold. By urging his supporters to "fight like hell", there's a strong argument that he incited insurrection.

If successfully invoked, this provision could prevent him from running for any public office in the future, including the Presidency.

To ensure that our Constitution is respected and upheld, we call on our lawmakers in Congress to consider the application of the 14th Amendment, Section 3, in this case.

January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol in which some supporters of President Trump attempted to disrupt the congressional certification of the 2020 presidential election as having been won by Joseph Biden. The House moved quickly following those events. Passing on an investigation, the Judiciary Committee staff compiled publicly available evidence relating to the President’s actions on January 6 and within one week had introduced and approved a single article of impeachment charging the President with incitement to insurrection.21Specifically, the article alleged that in the months running up to January 6th the President had consistently issued false statements asserting that the Presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud and should not be accepted by the American people.22 He then repeated those claims when addressing a crowd on January 6, and willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged—and foreseeably resulted in—lawless action at the Capitol. . . .23 Notably, although the House ultimately impeached President Trump prior to the expiration of his term, the Senate did not commence a trial until after President Trump had left office.24
