Keeping Trump off the ballot - the history of Sec.3,14th Amend.

A brief, very readable analysis by eminent US historians supports keeping Trump off the ballot rather than letting the political process decide based on the actual history of the enactment of Sec.3 of the 14th Amend.

From one of the drafters of Sec.3 :

“There are men now within these walls who may learn, when it is too late, that the ballot in the hand of the conspirator is more dangerous to the safety of the Republic than the bayonet.”
