Read Section 5 of the 14A.
Congress has the authority, and as such, the matter isn’t justiciable.

Interesting point. I doubt if the writers of the 14A meant to give Congress the sweeping power to declare anyone an insurrectionist, and so deny him an office.
But Section 5 could certainly be interpreted that way if you were so inclined.
On rare occasion the Supreme Court has limited the power supposedly given by the Constitution to Congress. So I guess anything is possible here.
Did. Congress can pass legislation to effect the provision. Legislation means a law. The same amendment also requires due process..
