21. true, but who decides it?

There has to be a lawful declaration somebody committed a insurrectionist act. So who makes the declaration? If it is the judiciary, then it goes to scotus. Do you see them letting control of the house flip based on that?

You can't just claim it. It has to be found to be true by somebody official.
