In a recent interview on "Face the Nation," former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming expressed her belief that former President Donald Trump should be disqualified from running for office in the future. Cheney, who served on the congressional Jan. 6 select committee, argued that Trump's behavior leading up to the assault on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, falls under the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.

The insurrection clause, which states that a person who has sworn an oath to the Constitution and engages in insurrection should be barred from holding public office, is currently being examined by the Supreme Court in an important decision originating from Colorado's top court. The Colorado Supreme Court, in a divided ruling, determined that Trump's actions related to the Capitol riot disqualified him from serving as president and therefore removed him from the state's primary ballot.

Trump, however, has appealed the decision and Cheney acknowledged that the final outcome will depend on the courts. She emphasized the importance of being prepared to defeat Trump through the ballot box regardless of the court's decision.

Another potential case that could reach the Supreme Court is whether Trump has presidential immunity when it comes to charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election. Trump has been charged with four federal counts related to the alleged attempt to overturn the election results and has pleaded not guilty. He argues that the indictment should be dismissed because it arose from actions taken while he was in the White House.

The question of presidential immunity is currently being considered by a federal appeals court, which is reviewing whether to uphold a district court's ruling that Trump is not shielded from federal prosecution for alleged crimes committed while in office.

Cheney, in line with her previous statements, expressed her belief that there is no basis for the assertion that the President of the United States is completely immune from criminal prosecution for acts committed in office. She voiced her expectation that the court will hold the same view.

Additionally, Cheney stressed the importance of not allowing Trump to delay the trial. She argued that voters should have the opportunity to see the evidence before casting their votes, claiming that Trump is attempting to suppress evidence and delay the trial to prevent the American people from witnessing the testimonies of those closest to him, including people he appointed.

As these legal battles unfold, the question of whether Donald Trump should be disqualified from holding office and whether he has presidential immunity remains contentious. The outcome of these cases will have significant implications for the future of Donald Trump's political career and the perception of presidential power.
