Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island has put forward legislation that would bar former President Donald Trump from holding public office.
Rep. David Cicilline speaks to reporters in the Capitol Visitor Center after a meeting of the House Democratic Caucus on July 19, 2022., which was written in the 1860s to prevent former U.S. officials who joined the Confederacy during the Civil War from occupying positions in the federal government.
Former President Donald Trump gestures during an event at his Mar-a-Lago home on Nov. 15, 2022, in Palm Beach, Florida.Democrat said his legislation"details testimony and evidence" collected by the Select Committee on the January 6th riot and reports on the events of that day to make the case that Trump helped to plan and encouraged an insurrection to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 presidential election.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office did not immediately respond when asked if Cicilline's bill would be taken up for a vote in the lame-duck session of Congress.
