14th Amendment: Do not certify insurrectionist Trump

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff, Rep. Khanna

From: A constituent in Milpitas, CA

January 5

The 14th Amendment clearly states that any person who has engaged in insurrection against the United States is disqualified from holding federal office, including the presidency. Given Trump's well-documented incitement of the violent attack on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, there is compelling evidence that he violated this provision. I urge you to reject any effort to certify Trump as president-elect based on this constitutional prohibition against insurrectionists assuming such a position of power. Upholding the 14th Amendment is vital to preserving our democracy and the rule of law. I implore you to take action to prevent Trump's unconstitutional candidacy from moving forward.
