Hi, it's Diane. On my mind, a 14th amendment. Donald Trump holds a 47-point lead in the

but there's another part of the 14th amendment. So the 14th amendment came post-civil war during

reconstruction, the 13th, the 14th, and the 15th amendments, this kind of three-part package.

There's another part of the 14th amendment, section three. And I'm paraphrasing that essentially
