[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have drafted a bill to ban Trump from holding public office, and are trying to pass the bill in the Senate and House of Representatives before the end of this year.

Democrats cited Article 14, Item 3 of the U.S. Constitutional Amendment, which "has declared support for the U.S. Constitution, but participated in rebellious activities against state power" as the basis for legislation, accusing Trump of being responsible for the 2021 Congressional riots.

According to the US media "CBS", the Democratic Party proposed the bill on the 15th of this month, and all 40 co-sponsors belong to the Democratic Party.

The Democrats invoked Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which states that any person who holds government office and "participates in rebellion or acts of rebellion against the nation" cannot hold federal office.

In other words, if a former public official violates Article 14, Item 3, he will not be able to serve as a relevant post in the federal central government again.

Democratic Representative David Cicilline, who participated in the drafting of the bill, said in a statement that Trump was very clearly involved in the congressional riots in 2021, with the purpose of overturning the final results of the 2020 election.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell also acknowledged that Trump should be responsible for this matter. He said in a speech on the Senate floor that "Trump is responsible for stirring up public sentiment, both morally and practically. ".

In response to the "prohibition of holding public office in the federal government" in item 3 of Article 14 of the Constitutional Amendment, according to item 5 of the same bill, Congress has the power to pass legislation to implement this prohibition.

The bill must be passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives before it can officially go on the road. There are only a few days left before the Republican Party takes control of the House of Representatives. With a large number of year-end agendas, the American financial magazine "Forbes" said that the bill must win more than half of the votes in the Senate. Difficulty, so it's "highly unlikely" to pass successfully.
