The US constitution bans anyone who leads an insurrection against the government from holding public office.
Problem is its not been proven yet
He doesn't have to be found guilty of insurrection at trial for the clause to take effect - the bar is lower than that. All that's necessary is that he be accepted by the court as having been somewhat involved either directly or indirectly.
That's an interesting distinction thanks
