"A longshot legal bid in multiple US states to disqualify Donald Trump from the 2024 US presidential ballot has won in Colorado and Maine.

The strategy involves trying to block Mr Trump from the primary ballot by invoking a rarely used provision of the US Constitution.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars current and former federal, state and military officials who have "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against the country from holding office again.
Initially backed by liberal activists, the theory that Mr Trump was ineligible to run for the presidency again after the Capitol riot on 6 January 2021 gained more prominence in recent months as some conservatives also embraced it.
The Colorado Supreme Court was the first to offer legal backing to the idea, ruling on 19 December that Mr Trump should be removed from the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot.

It was the first time that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment had been used to disqualify a presidential candidate.
Maine's top election official - Democratic Secretary of State Shenna Bellows - then ruled on 28 December that Mr Trump could not run for president in the state, also citing the 14th Amendment.
Both rulings are on hold pending appeal, but critics have warned that if the cases move forward they risk robbing voters of the right to deliver their own verdict on whether the former president should return to the White House.
Now the Supreme Court, which Mr Trump helped shape, will be the ultimate arbiter by issuing a ruling in coming weeks on whether he can be removed from the ballot.
Why Trump ballot eligibility is before Supreme Court

What is the theory?
The 14th Amendment was ratified after the American Civil War, and Section 3 was deployed to bar secessionists from returning to previous government posts once southern states rejoined the Union.
It was used against the likes of Confederate president Jefferson Davis and his vice-president Alexander Stephens, both of whom had served in Congress, but has seldom been invoked since."
