    In the last state that tried this, it failed. From my understanding, he must first be found guilty of having committed a crime which disqualifies him. No matter how obviously guilty he is, this seems like a necessary first step, although IANAL.

      The amendment was instituted in the wake of the Civil War, and was used several times against members of the Confederacy who never had a trial or conviction.

        This, however, is not a time of war. The legal standards, therefore, might be different.

            My point is that a lot has changed since then regarding legal precedences and procedure.

              You meant that when you said ‘this is not a time of war’?

              I never would have guessed.

    Just curious - If Colorado bans him for running (due to this, or something else entirely), but other states do not… is he still able to run, but with the Colorado electoral points already lost?

      If he can’t run in a particular state, he is not eligible for that state’s electoral votes, yes.

      Seems like it. And it only has to succeed in like one swing-ish state.
