Constitutional law scholar Steven Calabresi no longer believes the Constitution disqualifies Donald Trump from being re-elected to the White House.
Last month, Calabresi, a law professor at Northwestern, endorsed the theory that Trump is constitutionally disqualified from running for president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Calabresi argued Trump broke his oath of office when he participated in an "insurrection or rebellion" on Jan. 6, 2021.
But now Calabresi has changed his mind completely.
Calabresi — who emphasized that he is a "Never Trumper" and would vote for a Democrat over Trump — explained in a new essay that a "technicality in the drafting" of Section 3 means it "does not apply to Trump."
