Fourteenth Amendment time!
Never let the turd hold elected office again.

Democratic senators have discussed in recent weeks if they can’t convict Trump and bar him from holding office in a subsequent simple majority vote, they might invoke the 14th Amendment, which says Congress can bar people who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the U.S. from holding office.

The amendment prohibited former Confederate states from repaying war debts and compensating former slave owners for the emancipation of their slaves.
U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, has reportedly been on the forefront of the 14th Amendment push, and U.S. Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, late last month called it “intriguing.”
