YOUR POST IS NOT ACCURATE!
You have quoted the Constitution and your quote is wrong! You have left out text that specifically qualifies the President and Vice President and many others, including State Officials.
The 14th Amendment Section 3:
Section 3
"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."
@OWHolmes I wonder what post you were responding to. At least here on my screen your post showed up without showing it as a reply.
Anyway, the vital detail here is in who gets to decide who has engaged in insurrection or rebellion.
It's one thing to say such a person can't hold office, but the practical mechanism is the rub. The actual procedure. Who gets to have that say?
