The Supreme Court ruled unanimously on March 4 that former President Donald Trump cannot be removed from the ballot by individual states—overturning the Colorado Supreme Court decision that found him ineligible as a candidate and disqualified from the state ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
