Former law review editors lay out roadmap for not certifying Trump's win

The article from MSN discusses a strategy proposed by former law review editors, as outlined in a memo by the Constitutional Accountability Center, for potentially not certifying Donald Trump's win in the 2024 presidential election if he were to win. The memo suggests that if Trump wins, Congress could refuse to certify the election results based on the argument that he is constitutionally ineligible to hold office again due to his alleged involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot, invoking Section 3 of the 14th Amendment which disqualifies individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States. This approach would require a majority vote in both the House and Senate to reject the certification, a scenario that would be highly contentious and unprecedented. The memo has sparked debate about the legal and political implications of such an action, with critics arguing it could lead to significant political instability or even violence.
