It says

Member of House
Member of Senate
elector of President and Vice-President

...at first blush that looks like it doesn't apply to someone running for President.

I agree with your assessment.

It DOES apply to congresscritters; remember the critter that said something along the lines of “burn the cities”?

I hate when they dot dot dot what looks like and important part ? Pres. Trump would probably be covered in the catch-all in that section ?

"Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

Problem is, they have to charge and convict him of insurrection. Too much exculpatory evidence that those weenies on the Jan 6 committee refused to show\release.

And is the Presidency a civil position and as CIC can he be considered military ?

If not, then there really isn't any grounds here ?

None of this should ever get off the ground. If it comes to it, I hope Pres. Trump is agressive in the courts with this as it looks like the Jan 6 committe is looking recommend (which DOJ can ignore) an insurrection charge, among others.
