how would that be applied

certain states take him off the ballot?

guess none of the red states would

but maybe with a concerted effort and independent judiciary (and a pile of special interest money) in some purple states, we can rig the election to exclude him enforce the constitution to ensure only candidates who qualify are on the ballot

How is this possible without a conviction on those charges? Is he even charged with insurrection?

The clause states that "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."

so my guess is that, since Trump made it a habit of publicly declaring things that appear to be providing support or comfort to the insurrectionists, that some law-loving Americans will go to a court in a given state and say: 'hey, look at this part of the 14th amendment, and look at all these tweets' and try to get him DQ'ed in that state

i think

If you kill someone you could be put to death, but someone still has to prove that you killed someone.
