Yes i agree, but the ruling means that even if Trump is convicted of insurrection he won’t be removed from the office of president until congress clarifies the law. That’s the problem. The statute is clear. It’s not up to congress to decide. If he’s convicted of insurrection then he should be ineligible to serve. The constitution and the court should do their jobs and make a decision. Punting the issue to congress is an act of cowardice on their part.

Maybe a finer point, but Trump was President during Jan 6, but is not until Jan 21st, 2025.
