The lawsuit argues\u200c that Trump&#8217;s involvement \u200bin the January 6, 2021 protest and Capitol incursion disqualifies him from holding office under Section 3 of the 14th \u200bAmendment.<\/p>\n<p>The relevant section of the <a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/browse\/amendment-14\/section-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">14th Amendment<\/a> states that no person who has engaged in insurrection\u2064 or\u200b rebellion against the United States \u2063or provided aid to its \u200denemies shall hold any office under the United States.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-president-trump-and-gop-senator-thom-tillis-win-north-carolina-decision-desk-hq\/\" title=\"BREAKING: President Trump and GOP Senator Thom Tillis Win North Carolina: Decision Desk HQ\">legal effort<\/a> follows a similar lawsuit in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/group-sues-trump-removed-ballot-track-record-getting-wants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colorado<\/a> \u2062that also relied on the 14th Amendment as its basis. The lawsuit, filed \u200dby the liberal \u200dgroup Free Speech for People, accuses Trump of inciting a violent \u200dinsurrection and\u200d attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit argues that Trump&#8217;s actions, including his attempts to challenge the election, constitute \u200ca form of revolt. It claims that the events of January 6, 2021, amounted to an insurrection and a coordinated effort to obstruct the certification of \u200dPresident Biden&#8217;s victory.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ron Fein, legal\u200d director at Free Speech\u200b for People, Trump&#8217;s actions pose a threat to the republic,\u2063 and he should be barred from the ballot to protect the nation. Fein suggests that similar lawsuits may be \u2063filed in other states.<\/p>\n<p>The Minnesota lawsuit targets Democratic Secretary of State Steve\u2063 Simon, who has stated that he will not ban Trump from the ballot. Simon argues that his office does not have \u200cthe\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-chief-of-staff-biden-administration-taking-responsibility-for-covid-19-vaccines\/\" title=\"White House Chief of Staff: Biden Administration Taking Responsibility for COVID-19 Vaccines\">legal authority<\/a> to investigate a candidate&#8217;s eligibility for \u2063office.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the\u200d lawsuits, Trump&#8217;s spokesman Steven \u2064Cheung dismissed \u2063them as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/planned-parenthoods-80-million-payday-sparks-call-for-probe\/\" title=\"Planned Parenthood\u2019s  Million Payday Sparks Call for Probe\">baseless political attacks<\/a>.
