Former President Donald J. Trump has garnered support from 27 state attorneys general who filed amicus briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court, backing Trump’s claim of presidential immunity for his actions on January 6th, 2021.
The brief warns that excluding Trump from the 2024 ballot could cause chaos in the election, asserting that it’s Congress’s power to decide presidential qualifications.
The states emphasize the potential intrusion of state courts into this matter and express concern that excluding Trump could undermine voters’ authority. (Trending: Joe Biden Sets New Presidential Record)
“Voters who may wish to cast their ballots for former President Trump cannot know whether he ultimately will be excluded from the ballot in their State or others,” the brief reads.
“Many Americans will become convinced that a few partisan actors have contrived to take a political decision out of ordinary voters’ hands.”
“If the voters find former President Trump qualified, and Congress concurs, then the Constitution does not contemplate a time for the judiciary to second-guess that call. Rather, the Constitution gives Congress the sole and final authority to determine whether the President can continue to serve, as many courts have said.”
This support adds to previous amicus briefs filed in Trump’s favor, and the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on January 8th.
