About this episode
The 14th Amendment is not something anyone has discussed much since the 1800s.
But right now it's the talk of the town.
It includes a post-civil war clause that bars anyone from holding public office if they've engaged in an insurrection or rebellion.
Right now, there are lawyers, academics and die-hard constitutionalists who are working out if there's a legal channel to remove Trump's name from any electoral ballot on the grounds he tried to overturn democracy on January 6th 2020. We speak to a Watergate special prosecutor about what could happen. And we look at the Republican move to launch an impeachment enquiry into Joe Biden. Do they have evidence of wrong doing?
