When one considers the full text of the 14th amendment, it is MASSIVELY scoped - covers fed to state, civil or military . . .

From Giuliani to McEnany to faithless electors and anyone involved in this coup attempt would appear to be disqualified to serve in govt.

As far as I can see it would be effective immediately, and all would qualify for prosecution under 18 U.S. Code § 2384.Seditious conspiracy, a law that has been used as recently as 2010.

@HouseDemocrats & #DOJ are compelled to enforce 14A or Congress vote to allow them.

PS The reason I put this to House Dems rather than the Senate is because it requires a majority vote to 'forgive' these seditionists and most of our Senate majority is complicit (self pardons - no).

PS2 Further interpretation of section 3 of the 14th amendment, from History(dot)com, AFFIRMS that those who engaged in insurrection could not hold office w/out the approval of 2/3rds of each chamber of Congress.

Meaning insurrection/sedition is a complete disqualifier of viability for service, with no provision for those currently serving (that I can find).

The only way to bypass that would be for Congress to vote insurrectionists essentially a non criminal pardon.

PS3 From Congress(dot)gov, regarding the disqualification clause (what I earlier called a 'pardon') -- was removed, w/exceptions, in 1872, then twenty-six years later in its entirety (" . . . incurred heretofore, is hereby removed.")

Cont...

Note that this section deals with only disqualifications, or the process of allowing voting insurrectionists a pass to allow them to serve.

I could find no notes regarding the primary body itself and therefore presume it to be as written.
