\nOn Friday, a Colorado judge handed the former president a victory in one of the 14th Amendment cases, declaring that Trump was eligible to be on the state\u2019s ballot, The Associated Press reported.<\/p>\n
District Judge Sarah B. Wallace did say that the former president was guilty of engaging in an insurrection but found that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which names many positions that someone cannot attain if they are guilty of insurrection, does not specifically name the presidency.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter considering the arguments on both sides, the Court is persuaded that \u2018officers of the United States\u2019 did not include the President of the United States,\u201d she said. \u201cIt appears to the Court that for whatever reason the drafters of Section Three did not intend to include a person who had only taken the Presidential Oath.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
