HLS Rappaport Forum: Trump v. Anderson: Does the 14th Amendment Disqualify Trump from Public Office?

A couple Harvard law profs go back and forth on the meaning of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

Each has submitted amicus briefs to the SOTUS regarding Trump v Anderson

Questions presented: 

- Does Section 3 apply to a former president?

- Is it self executing?

- Does it apply only to holding office as opposed to running for office?

- Did Trump engage in insurrection?
