Well, apparently this law states otherwise:
The Presidency qualifies as "any office under the United States" is it not?

Federal law is not superior to the Constitution. The qualifications for the presidency are clearly laid out in Article II of the Constitution, and federal law cannot amend that.
The only bar to holding the office of President is impeachment and removal, the 14th amendment prohibition via a finding of insurrection, or the 25th amendment finding of incapacitation.
This will go nowhere.

Andrew McCarthy has a good piece on this,Trump cannot be prevented from running for President as this article claims,chechck the Constitution,there are no such clauses as presented here,those are laws passed by CONGRESS,the Framers have no such tenets in the Constitution,the only rules are you must be a natural born citizen,a certain age,they did not want any law passed by Congress to prevent a Candidate from seeking The presidency,for just such incidents as we are seeing now
RE: there are no such clauses as presented here,those are laws passed by CONGRESS
Well, if it is a law and has been passed by Congress, why does it not apply to the President?
This is a straw man.
The US Constitution provides for the qualifications for President.
The Congress cannot unilaterally amend the Constitution.
Is the DoJ trying to disqualify Trump for 2024?
FOR SURE!
Not in the context of federal elected offices.
Article VI Clause 2 says:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.The supremacy clause makes it clear that a law created by Congress is inferior to the Constitution itself and cannot add extra conditions on the qualifications for President or other Constitutional offices.
What this law refers to is this:
Article II Section 2 Clause 2:
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.The Constitution refers to (but does not define) "inferior offices" and offices "whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for." Those are the offices that come under the law referenced in the OP.

The RNC need to find someone who can play this raid for the benefit of the Republicans. Ronna McDaniels isn’t up to it.
Isn't that the body area between the woohoo and the a hole?
"The woowoo. Perhaps the most significant psychological feminine component known to mankind."
The Left is afraid that if he becomes President again, he will expose their TREASON to the extent that many of their so-called "leaders" will end up with life sentences, or even better, EXECUTION!
I see you are familiar with transportation industry jargon.

Starting at 3:44 in the above video, Jonathan Turley seems to agree with what you say here.

SPIT.
They will use this alleged disqualification to intimidate state officials throughout the country to keep Trump off the ballot. It matters not if he can legally run, if his name isn’t on the ballot. Or maybe their goal is to have the head of the Republican Party refuse to verify that Trump’s eligible to be on the ballot.
The qualifications for the office of the President are spelled out in the Constitution. I wonder if SCOTUS would rule that they are overridden by the US Code.
Deem State commie thugs will do anything to stop Trump.
That bit of U.S. code does not overrule the U.S. Constitution, where the eligibility requirements for President and Vice President are clearly spelled out.
Repukes were behind this, the Rats just went along with it.
