John, Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on four separate occasions now, most recently by a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia for conspiring to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election. This makes him the first president to ever face criminal charges. These indictments will hold Trump accountable in the criminal justice system, but they won’t prevent him from running for or serving as president again. However, something else will: Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, which makes clear that anyone who takes an oath of office and then engages in insurrection is forever barred from holding public office again. Secretaries of State and chief election officials nationwide must follow the mandate of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment (the Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause) and bar Trump from the ballot. Sign the petition: Trump Is Disqualified. Invoking the Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause doesn’t require permission from federal prosecutors or criminal charges. State election officials have the power and the responsibility to do so as part of their oath to uphold the Constitution. Trump incited, mobilized, and facilitated the January 6 insurrection, plain and simple. Failing to hold him responsible not only violates the Constitution, but it also sets a dangerous precedent for permitting violent attacks on our democracy. That’s not a risk we can afford to take. Tell Secretaries of State: Bar Trump from the ballot. In solidarity,
