Activists want to disqualify Trump from ballot in key states under 14th Amendment
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaig...4th-amendment/
Though [D]ump has been indicted twice and is under investigation in other cases, the groups say those are not disqualifying facts under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
However, the groups believe [D]ump’s role in the Jan. 6 insurrection — for which he is also under investigation — does fit the constitutional clause’s definitions.
That clause bars from a series of public offices people who “having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.”

Individuals disqualified from office under the section are excluded from future service in either chamber of Congress, as an elector of president or vice president, as a member of any office, civil or military, under the United States (including the office of the president or vice president), or under any state. This disqualification can only be removed by a two-thirds vote in each house of Congress; a presidential pardon cannot lift this disqualification.
