A hearing on using the Constitution's 'insurrection' clause to bar Donald Trump from running for president again is underway in Colorado.

A hearing on the use of the Constitution's 'insurrection' clause to bar former President Trump from running for president again is underway in Colorado, and oral arguments before the Minnesota Supreme Court in a similar case are scheduled for Thursday. In Colorado, the judge rejected a motion by Trump's lawyers that she step aside because she once contributed money to a liberal group.

'By instigating this unprecedented assault on the American constitutional order, Trump violated his oath and disqualified himself under the Fourteenth Amendment from holding public office, including the Office of the President.'Trump has derided the lawsuits as 'election interference.' His lawyers contend that none of the issues are simple in a provision of the Constitution that hasn't been used in 150 years.
