Trump makes an argument that whether Trump will be ineligible on January 20, 2025 is indeterminate because Congress could waive any disability by then. It is thus comparable to the inability of a State to determine in advance whether a congressional candidate will be resident on election day, November 5, 2024. In Texas Democratic Party vs. Benkiser a federal district court determined that no one, including Tom Delay, could know where he would be resident on election day.
This is distinguishable from other qualifications such as age, natural born citizenship, and residence in the USA which can be determined in advance.
Very logical and persuasive argument.
