Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office
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.

Did he not just give aid or comfort to convicted insurrectionists?

I mean maybe he was not found guilty of being an insurrectionists, but they were and with his action did he not just at the very least provide aid or comfort, is that not a direct violation of the 14th Sec 3?

What am I thinking - the constitution actually being followed - silly silly me
