The court will decide whether Trump can participate in the election or not |
The United States Supreme Court said that the historic case will be heard on whether former President Donald Trump can participate in the upcoming presidential election.
Last month, a Colorado court declared Trump "disqualified" from running for president. Trump has appealed against the Colorado court's decision. The judges agreed to hear his appeal.
According to the BBC, the case will be heard next February and the verdict will be effective throughout the country.
Three years ago, Trump was accused of inciting riots on Capitol Hill by spreading false rumors of election fraud. And given this complaint, efforts are being made to declare him ineligible for election in various states.
The court's ruling will determine whether Trump will be disqualified from running for office under the 14th Amendment to the Civil War-era Constitution.
The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution states that those involved in rebellion cannot hold any executive office. However, the former president's lawyers say this amendment does not apply to Trump. Because he was the president of the country at that time.
Courts in Colorado and state election officials in Maine have also disqualified Trump from running for president.

This is the first time the Supreme Court will explain the details of this section of the Constitution.
If everything goes well, Trump will compete in the presidential election next November as the leader of the Republican Party. Current President Joe Biden will be his main rival.
Trump has also tried to disqualify him from the states of Minnesota and Michigan. However, this attempt was rejected by the highest courts of the states.
