Trump v. Anderson

Decided March 4, 2024. The Court ruled per curiam — an unsigned opinion of the Court.

Docket 23-719 · 601 U.S. 100 · Cited 18 times

Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment against federal officeholders and candidates, the Colorado Supreme Court erred in ordering former President Trump excluded from the 2024 Presidential primary ballot.
