[link removed] [[link removed]] John, I wanted to make sure you saw my recent op-ed in the Hill:
[link removed] [[link removed]]I wanted every reader of this op-ed to remember one thing: Donald Trump is already constitutionally forbidden from serving as president again because of the 14th Amendment.
I know this, experts know this, and CREW is going to use this legal argument to ensure that Trump is disqualified from becoming president and other future office.
The sooner we have the support, the sooner we can take action to stop Trump from serving as president. So I’m asking you to make a generous donation to support CREW’s work today → [[link removed]]If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars from office any state or federal officer who took an oath to defend the Constitution and then engages in or aids an insurrection against the United States.
Legal experts agree that this clause can be used to legally disqualify Donald Trump from becoming president.
Although Trump’s role in fomenting the attack on the Capitol has been well documented, law professors and Federalist Society members William Baude of the University of Chicago and Michael Stokes Paulsen of the University of St. Thomas argue that the “full legal consequences” of Section Three “have not been appreciated or enforced.” But, as they explain, “The Constitution is not optional and Section Three is not an optional part of the Constitution.” Therefore, “Trump is constitutionally disqualified from again being President (or holding any other covered office).”
John, we couldn’t agree more.
We’re positioned to bring a case against Trump under the 14th Amendment, because we’ve already successfully applied that provision before.
Last September, three New Mexico residents, represented by CREW, won the first case in more than 150 years using Section Three of the 14th Amendment. We removed then-New Mexico County Commissioner Couy Griffin from office for participating in the January 6th insurrection. Griffin’s removal marked the first case at the federal or state level concluding that what occurred Jan. 6 was an insurrection.
Help us enforce Trump’s disqualification from office. Make a donation today to help CREW use the 14th Amendment to stop Trump from serving in office again → [[link removed]]If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
