[New York Kyodo] Secretary of State Bellows of the eastern US state of Maine announced on the 28th that former President Trump will be disqualified from running in the state's primary election for the Republican nomination for next year's presidential election. He was accused of inciting the 2021 attack on the Capitol, and pointed out that this violates the constitutional provision that prohibits those who took part in rebellion from holding public office.
This is the second disqualification of Mr. Trump from running for office, following the ruling by the Western Colorado Supreme Court on the 19th of this month. The Trump campaign plans to sue Bellows' announcement in court in Maine. Both cases are expected to ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The president and members of Congress take an oath to uphold the Constitution when they take office. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution stipulates that anyone who participates in rebellion after taking the oath cannot hold public office. Bellows emphasized the legitimacy of the decision, saying, ``No secretary of state has been disqualified from running for president under this provision.However, no candidate has been involved in rebellion.''

(Bloomberg) -- Former U.S. President Donald Trump has asked a Georgia judge to dismiss a criminal case in which a Georgia grand jury indicted him on charges of leading a conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. He was impeached for the same act, but the U.S. Senate acquitted him, so he argued that he should be immune from prosecution.
According to a complaint filed in a court in Atlanta on the 8th, Trump's campaign claims that the U.S. Senate acquitted him in his impeachment trial and that he has been cleared of any fraud related to the 2020 presidential election.
Under the U.S. Constitution, a president can only be prosecuted criminally if he is impeached and the Senate finds him guilty of the same act, he said. The lawsuit states that parallel state trials are prohibited on the basis that.
