So one state proclaims Trump took part in an insurrection even though the justice system hasn’t charged anyone and another state says no he didn’t, WHO’s right?This:
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, 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, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
In simple terms a person who has taken an oath to uphold the constitution and later engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid or comfort to the enemies of the United States is prohibited by the constitution from running for any governmental office state or federal.
