Blocking Federal Election Funds for States Misusing the Fourteenth Amendment.
This bill aims to prevent states from unilaterally removing presidential candidates from ballots based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. If a state's executive officials use unilateral mechanisms (like executive orders) to block a candidate, that state will lose federal funds for election administration. This ensures that disputes over candidate eligibility are handled exclusively by federal courts, providing a consistent national standard for presidential elections.
Key points
Loss of Federal Funding: States that unilaterally block a presidential candidate using the 14th Amendment will lose federal funds designated for election administration.
Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction: Disputes over presidential candidate eligibility (under the 14th Amendment) must be adjudicated exclusively by Federal District Courts, removing state courts' authority.
Expedited Judicial Review: Establishes a special 3-judge panel in Federal District Courts to quickly determine facts, which are then immediately transmitted to the Supreme Court for an expedited legal ruling.
