A-XIV

“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or \\\elector\\\ of President and Vice-President, or >>>hold<<< any office, civil or military, etc.”

and “but >> Congress may by a vote of 2/3 of each House, remove this disability <<”

No constraint on the Office of the President, just ‘electors’.
No constraints on campaigning for President, just “holding elected office”
Congress [only] is charged with removing the disability and then only AFTER the office is held.
If a ne’er-do-well is voted into office, ONLY CONGRESS can act on the disability encumbered by the 14th.

Who can \campaign\ for the Office?
Anyone.
Who can hold the office?
Only those that meet the qualifications and characteristics.
Obama, Cruz, Kamala and Ramaswamy, who don’t meet the NBC qualification, can campaign all they want.
Congress is the only Constitutional body that can act on any encumbrances.

If they have the balls to do so.

Great analysis!!!

I hope the USSC smacks down the Colo supreme court ruling.

PDJT can run, win, and hold the office, because he hasn’t been convicted of anything, much less insurrection.
