The National Pulse responded to the California official's statement by saying that in reality, the Constitution states a commander-in-chief must be 35 years old and the 14th Amendment’s prohibitions apply to "officers" who have fomented insurrection. The former president is not and has never been an "officer," as almost all legal scholars accept. Experts observed that the Colorado decision under the Civil War-era provision marked the first time a court has found him to be ineligible to return to the White House due to his conduct surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Never before has a court determined that a presidential candidate is disqualified under the clause. Meanwhile, Trump has vowed to swiftly appeal to the high court, which could reverse the ruling, as per a spokesman for his campaign. "The Colorado Supreme Court issued a completely flawed decision tonight and we will swiftly file an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request for a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision," Trump campaign spokesman Steve Cheung said in a statement. Trump did not mention the decision during a rally he attended in Waterloo, Iowa, but his campaign sent out a fundraising email citing what it called a "tyrannical ruling." He also posted on Truth Social: "What a shame for our country" and "A sad day for America." Trump has been facing multiple legal challenges, including 91 federal and state criminal and civil charges across four states, potentially resulting in up to 700 years of imprisonment. Special Counsel Jack Smith, New York Attorney General Letitia James and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis have led these endeavors.California Lt. Gov. @EleniForCA writes to Secretary of State Shirley Weber to “explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.”
