The Supreme Court of the United States begins this Thursday, with initial arguments, to deliberate on the eligibility of Donald Trump in the November presidential elections.
Beyond the 91 criminal offenses that the magnate is accused of in four different judicial processes - a truly unprecedented situation in the country - the nine judges of the high court will assess a more specific cause: Colorado's decision to prohibit Trump's participation In the elections.
As explained in the video report that heads this article, the fourteenth amendment of the US Constitution prohibits an official who has sworn the Magna Carta, and who has subsequently participated in a rebellion, from running again in an election.
Trump's defense not only denies that it was an insurrection; It also alleges that this article does not contemplate the figure of a former president, because it explicitly refers to congressmen and officials, but does not speak of the head of state.
Now all the focus is on the Supreme Court, with a conservative majority. Although a disqualification of Trump is unlikely, the great question about the viability of his candidacy remains unresolved.
