The 14th Amendment section 3 could disqualify Trump and others from future office: Legal scholars agree that the 14th Amendment section 3 could potentially bar Trump and others from future political campaigns due to their involvement in the Capitol insurrection.
The 14th Amendment section 3, a part of the US Constitution that has been largely overlooked, could potentially disqualify Donald Trump and others involved in the Capitol insurrection from running for office in the future. This interpretation is not a new idea, as it has been advocated by several legal scholars, including William Boud and Michael Stokes Paulson, who wrote a comprehensive law review article on the topic. Their findings have gained widespread agreement among scholars with diverse judicial philosophies, indicating a strong consensus on this issue. The 14th Amendment section 3, which deals with disqualifying individuals from public office who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the US, could provide a legal basis for barring Trump and others from future political campaigns. The practical application and enforcement of this provision, however, remain open questions.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is still in effect: The 14th Amendment's Section 3, which prohibits individuals from holding public office after engaging in insurrection or rebellion, remains a valid constitutional rule.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits individuals from holding public office if they have previously sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution but have engaged in insurrection or rebellion or given aid to the enemies of the United States, remains a fully operative rule of constitutional law. This provision, passed following the Civil War, is not a dead letter, and its legal force is not limited to the circumstances of the Civil War and Reconstruction. Despite some historical context suggesting otherwise, it has not been repealed by later statutes granting amnesty. Unlike some constitutional provisions that expire after a certain period or upon specific events, Section 3 does not operate in this way. It is a binding and authoritative part of the Constitution.

14th Amendment disqualifies insurrectionists from presidency: The 14th Amendment's Section 3 disqualifies individuals who engage in insurrection or rebellion against the US from holding the presidency, without requiring judicial permission or new laws.
According to scholars Baud and Paulson, the 14th Amendment's Section 3 clearly states that anyone who has taken an oath to support and defend the US Constitution but then engages in insurrection or rebellion against the US and the Constitution, shall not be eligible to hold the office of the presidency. This interpretation, supported by originalist and federalist society members, does not require judicial permission or a new law. It's self-executing. The clarity of the language in the constitution means that states have the power to prevent insurrectionists from being placed on the presidential ballot. The agreement on this interpretation between scholars like Lawrence Tribe and retired judge Michael Luttig adds significant weight to this interpretation.
Discussions continue on removing Trump from office, but it's uncertain if it will happen: Despite legal grounds and bipartisan support, resistance from MAGA Republicans may prevent Trump's removal from office
There are ongoing discussions about the potential removal of former President Donald Trump from office, but it's uncertain if this will happen due to the resistance from MAGA-controlled legislatures and the declining support for Trump within the Republican Party. The legal grounds for removal exist, and there is significant bipartisan support for this action, except from MAGA Republicans in Congress, state legislatures, and the Senate. The conviction in the Jack Smith case against Trump could trigger this process, but it's not a requirement.
