@Madison_rogue

As I mentioned elsewhere, if any one or group of the 70+ federal charges he is currently facing meets the legal definition of Insurrection, then the requirement of the 14th amendment is met and he becomes immediately ineligible.

This does deviate from the norm, and that is intentional; because sedition in a political crime that threatens the existence of the nation. However, it is quite explicit, unlike many other amendments people would as soon ignore. Once the definition is met, it's party over.
