Can the 14th Amendment Block Trump's Aspirations? (Audio: Podcast)

The latest effort to keep Donald Trump from running for president is to invoke Section 3 of the Constitution's 14th Amendment which prohibits certain individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the government of the United States from holding high office.
