Just something to ponder in this oh so messy election year...
According to the US Constitution....
Amendment 14, Section 3, he is ineligible to run for office:
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.
Unless they use this loophole:
But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
