Now, Maine Secretary of State Shanna Bellows has made the plea 14th Amendment to the ConstitutionIt prohibits those who participated in a rebellion from holding elected office.

That amendment was ratified in 1868, after the American Civil War, to prevent people associated with southern rebels from the Confederacy from coming to power.

“However, I also know that no presidential candidate has ever participated A rebellion” bellows highlighted.

Colorado's Republican Party on Wednesday decided to appeal the decision to disqualify Trump from the state's election to the US Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, the magnates have already warned they will challenge the decision in court after a fresh backlash in Maine. This was announced by his campaign spokesman, who warned that he could be subject to a final appeal to the US Supreme Court.

Trump immediately condemned the decision, which he said was made by a “radical leftist” who is a “radical supporter” of Joe Biden.

“We are witnessing first-hand the attempted theft of the election and the disenfranchisement of American voters,” the Republican Party condemned through its campaign committee.
