Gail, it's the link for this article. It's a fascinating and scholarly article, but very readable and understandable.

Here you go...

Efforts by Courts or State Officials to Bar Members of Congress from Running for Re-Election or Being Seated Are Unconstitutional

LEGAL MEMORANDUM

Many have pointed out that the people who wrote the 14th Amendment specifically enumerated those who would be covered under it and did NOT include the President, Vice President, or SCOTUS justices...

Section 3:
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 a disability.

I have vision issues with PDFs because of the print size and didn’t see it was an article. I was expecting a regular article with a link in it.

I was taught the Constitution is the final say, over Statutory Laws. And requires an Amendment to fix it.

Thanks.
