"The question of eligibility to serve as President of the United States is properly reserved for Congress, not the state courts, to consider and decide," wrote Trump's attorneys In the petition for Writ of Certiorari.
"By considering the question of President Trump’s eligibility and barring him from the ballot, the Colorado Supreme Court arrogated Congress’ authority."
A spokesperson for the Trump campaign, Steven Cheung, released a statement regarding the filing later Wednesday.
“Crooked Joe Biden’s comrades, including the Colorado Supreme Court and CREW, a radical, left-wing activist group, are doing all they can to disenfranchise all American voters by attempting to remove President Trump, the leading candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election, from the primary ballot," said Cheung.
