This case raises the question whether the States, in addition to Congress, may also enforce Section 3. We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency.

For the reasons given, responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States. The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand.

      Yeah. Because he didn’t do any thing to be booted that even ‘Jackson’ Knows that. Some how it’s the insane petri dish of foaming at the mouth, odd dregs, who refuse reality.

        He clearly whipped up an angry mob to attack the Capitol, he just hasn’t been convicted of doing so.
