FOCUS: 14th Amendment already bans Trump from being president

By Raleigh Perry  |  A headline in the Aug. 17, 2023, in The Hill reads “The Constitution bars Trump from holding public office ever again.” This refers to an argument put forth in the previous week by William Baude, a professor of law at the University of Chicago and Michael Stokes Paulsen of the University of St. Thomas School of Law.  The argument refers to Section 3 of Amendment 14 in the Constitution.

By Elliott Brack |  Much of the talk in Washington these days is about whether the Democrats and Republicans can come together with an agreement to raise the national debt limit.  If that doesn’t happen, it could mean that our nation will default on its debt. That’s never happened in the 227 years of our country.
