Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) did not foreclose on Thursday the option of invoking the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to bar former President Donald Trump from holding office again.

“We’re first going to finish the impeachment trial and then Democrats will get together and discuss where we go next,” Schumer told reporters at the U.S. Capitol when asked about the possibility of using the amendment if the Senate acquits Trump, as it is expected to do.
