🧵 For those who have been as interested as I am in the discussion about Congress using Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against Trump, this is a thread of scholarly commentary on the subject. Please feel free to add additional links.
Historian Eric Foner was among the first to suggest using it and he later wrote up his argument in the WaPo here:
Two legal scholars, Gerald Magliocca and Bruce Ackerman also argued that using section 3 may be more effective than impeachment:
In the @nytimes, @brianbeutler and @deepakguptalaw say it section 3 should be used as a compliment to impeachment.
Political scientist and professor of law Mark Graber makes the case that section 3 can be invoked by legislation passed after Trump leaves office, which would also "retroactively void any action taken by President Trump after January 6, 2021."
