Former representative Liz Cheney believes that Donald Trump should be disqualified from holding public office. However, she acknowledges that the final decision lies with the courts.
In a recent interview, Cheney (R-Wyo.), a member of the January 6th committee, invoked the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.
Despite Cheney’s argument, a judge in Wyoming dismissed attempts to remove Trump from the primary ballot.
While legal challenges continue, Cheney admits that those opposed to the 45th president will likely have to defeat him in an electoral contest.
This comes after Cheney made a similar argument during a speaking event in Hanover, New Hampshire.
According to FiveThirtyEight, President Trump leads the Republican field in New Hampshire with over 42% of the vote.

What legal process is required to disqualify someone from holding public office based on the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause?
, Cheney stated, “I think there’s no question that what happened on January 6th was an insurrection, and that’s a high crime and misdemeanor. And I think that the Constitution provides for the ability for Congress to prevent someone who has incited an insurrection from serving in public office again.”
Cheney’s statements reflect her strong opposition to Trump and his role in the events of January 6th. She has consistently criticized his actions leading up to and following the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
However, legal experts have pointed out that disqualifying someone from holding public office requires a thorough legal process. The 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause has rarely been enforced, and its interpretation is subject to judicial review.
In the case of Trump, several lawsuits attempting to disqualify him from future office have been filed, but none have been successful so far. The courts have been hesitant to intervene in matters that could be seen as political in nature.
Cheney acknowledges this reality and understands that defeating Trump in an electoral contest is likely the most effective way to prevent him from holding public office again. She recognizes the power of the ballot box and the importance of mobilizing support to vote against those who incite violence and undermine democracy.
The 2024 election will be a crucial moment for the future of the Republican Party and for the broader political landscape. Cheney’s comments highlight the ongoing struggle within the party between those who condemn Trump’s actions and those who continue to support him.
As the legal battles continue, it remains to be seen how the courts will interpret the insurrection clause and its application to Trump. But regardless of the legal outcome, Cheney’s stance serves as a powerful reminder that holding public office is not a right, but a privilege that should be entrusted to those who uphold the principles of democracy and respect for the rule of law.
In conclusion, Cheney’s belief that Trump should be disqualified from holding public office reflects a deep concern for the future of American democracy. While the legal process may be complex and challenging, Cheney recognizes the importance of holding those responsible for inciting violence and undermining democratic institutions accountable. The ultimate decision may lie with the courts, but the power to shape the future of this nation rests in the hands of the voters, who have the ability to reject those who prioritize personal gain over the welfare of the country.
