“Democratic congressman David Cicilline of Rhode Island circulated a letter to party colleagues this week, seeking cosponsors for legislation that would bar former President Donald Trump from running for president again in 2024.
“Trump announced that he is running for president again during a rally at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday evening. That same day, Cicilline circulated a letter seeking to disqualify Trump from higher office, citing Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, when a mob of his loyalists attacked the U.S. Capitol building shortly after he gave an incendiary speech outside the White House.
“’Give the proof — demonstrated through the January 6th Committee Hearings, the 2021 impeachment trial, and other reporting — that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection on January 6th with the intention of overturning the lawful 2020 election results, I have drafted legislation that would prevent Donald Trump from holding public office again under the Fourteenth Amendment,’ Cicilline wrote.”
