How can a statute repeal part of a Constitutional Amendment ratified by the states? That doesn’t make sense.

It can’t. Just as the 1968 Gun Control Act can’t delete the 2nd Amendment. Leftist would love that.

"How can a statute repeal part of a Constitutional Amendment ratified by the states? That doesn’t make sense."

Because it was written into the amendment:

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.

Try actually reading the 14th Amendment then it might make sense.
