The Supreme Court has ruled that states cannot remove former President Donald Trump from their election ballots based on the Fourteenth Amendment’s insurrection clause.

The high court overturned on March 4 the ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court (CSC) that prevented Trump from appearing on the Centennial State’s Republican primary ballot. According to CNBC, this sets a precedent that “no other state can bar Trump – or any other candidate from now on – from a presidential ballot or election for Congress by invoking the insurrection clause of the Constitution.”

According to the insurrection clause – Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment – “no person” can serve as an officer of the U.S. who, having previously taken an oath of federal office, “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the United States. The clause was adopted following the Union’s victory against the Confederacy in the Civil War.
