President of the United States, Donald Trump [AP=연합뉴스]With the president of the United States, Donald Trump, in impeachment, it is noteworthy whether he will be barred from running for office in the future.
President Trump is known to have conducted a replay for the 2024 presidential election, and in various opinion polls conducted before the support-era congressional riots, he was found to be the overwhelming No. 1 among Republican candidates.
According to the Reuters news agency on the 14th (local time), there is a method to deprive the person of their qualifications to hold public office in conjunction with the impeachment hearing against President Trump.
President Trump’s impeachment bill passed in the House the day before and the Senate faces an impeachment hearing.
The House of Representatives handled the indictment by applying charges of incitement to civil war, saying President Trump instigated a riot in Congress in a speech to protesters on the 6th.
For the impeachment bill to pass the Senate, more than two-thirds of the vote is required. The decision to pass the impeachment bill is the result of acknowledging President Trump’s charges of inciting civil war, and in this case, Congress can push through a resolution disqualifying him from taking office. At this time, the voting quorum is a majority.
So far, three cases have been disqualified from public office through congressional impeachment, all of whom were federal judges.
Senate Leader Chuck Schumer of the Democratic Party announced that if President Trump is impeached, he will also push for a vote to block the post.

However, Reuters explains that there is room for controversy in this regard.
Among legal experts, there are pros and cons as to whether the presidential office is included in the subject of a public office that can be disqualified.
Even if the Senate rejects President Trump’s impeachment bill, opinions are divided on whether disqualification can be promoted.
The Supreme Court said it was possible because it made it clear that the Senate had wide latitude to determine how to hear the impeachment and argued that it could not be disqualified as it would punish a president who was not convicted.
There is also a method to prevent President Trump from running for the presidential election again by applying Article 14, paragraph 3 of the Amendment, which made it impossible for anyone involved in the civil war or rebellion to take office. This provision was created to prevent Confederates from running for public office after the Civil War in the past, in favor of slavery.
A majority vote of the Senate and House of Representatives was required, and in 1914, this provision was used to prevent elected official Victor Burger, who actively opposed America’s involvement in WWI, from taking office. in the House of Representatives.
Reuters said it is certainly possible for President Trump to sue in court even if Congress disqualifies him from running.
