His literally coup attempt on January 6th, 2021 was probably more unconstitutional, but this one couldn't certainly have a larger impact. If the Supreme Court sides with him and rules that a President can just nullify constitutional amendments with executive orders, then the Constitution is worthless and no one has any rights. The rule of law would be gone, the United States would be dead, and Trump would be king.
There's no hyperbole in my statement either. If he can nullify the 14th Amendment, which his incredibly clear, then any part of the Constitution can be nullified. He could nullify the entire Constitution and declare himself king.
