5. What about the 14th Amendment?

He should be forbidden to run. And use the fact that many in Congress can only be allowed to run again if they force the use of the 14th amendment in The Constitution of the United States to disassociate from the leader of their party, by whom they were misled

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.


After rereading this, I've no idea if that section helps.
