and his name was Couy Griffin. He was disqualified from any b=public office He had been convicted of participating in the insurrection.He did not want to run for President. But the Fourteenth applies to any Federal offoci, any state office, or any office And that's roughly the way is worded, with "orany office" bringing up the rear. So that goes all the way down - and would also apply to appointees, I would think. Cabinet members, committee members, and the like. School boards.

I'm in Colorado, and my SoS already applied it to Tina Peters (was a county clerk, announed intention to run for Congress. Now she won't.) I have every confidence that upon a conviction for insurrection, she'll disqualify Trump** without waiting for appeals, And there might be other convictions which would prompt it. But even without that, I suspect she may disqualify him Just not today.
