https://www.theguardian.com/law/2024/jan/28/us-historians-sign-brief-to-support-colorados-removal-of-trump-from-ballotIf conservative #SCOTUS justices take #originalism seriously, they should take this brief seriously. (Note, #if.)
The historians conclude that the #14A #insurrection clause does apply to presidents, does cover post-civil-war insurrection, and does not require supplementary acts of Congress.
