Here's an interesting idea to bar Trump from ever holding office again by invoking Section 3 of the XIV Amendment. It was designed to prevent men who had sworn an oath to defend and protect the Constitution and then joined the Confederacy trying to overthrow the government. The question is simply how to apply the 14th Amendment to Trump. In Court? In Congress? Perhaps a simple majority vote could work.
What we do know, is that Trump is completely unrepentant and would do it again. In some ways, his being banned from Twitter is saving him from the 25th Amendment and impeachment. If he was allowed to spew his fetid nonsense into social media, Republicans would have no place to hide.
