Trump could be disqualified from office according to a former Trump lawyer.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment could prevent Trump from being an elected official.
Those who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion can't hold public office.
Ty Cobb, a former White House lawyer for the Trump administration, said in an interview that the president could be disqualified from office under the 14th amendment.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution can be used to prevent Trump from holding office again, according to the White House counsel. No one who was given aid or comfort to the enemies of the government should serve in public office, according to the post-Civil War provision.
There is a simple way to disqualify the president. He clearly violated the 14th Amendment of the Constitution when he gave aid and comfort, and when he took three hours to act on what was happening at the Capitol. Aid and comfort was given to the insurrectionists by that.
"It was popular early on, but the fact that it's been delayed and delayed when we could easily modify the conversation by disqualifying him now, whether he gets prosecuted or not, or not, is sad."
Under the Constitution, officials can be disqualified for insurrection if they are sued. The first public official in over 100 years to be disqualified from his office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was removed from his post by a judge in New Mexico.
The Cowboys for Trump founder, who gained national attention for breaching the Capitol on January 6, refused to certify the results of the June 2022.

A judge initially ruled in favor of Cawthorn, who was targeted in the same way. The Fourth Circuit of Appeals found that Cawthorn was not immune from challenges to his eligibility after he lost his primary election.
According to The New York Times, Democratic lawyers and members of Congress are working on legislation and state-by-state lawsuits to prevent Trump from holding office again.
The federal probe into the January 6 insurrection and Trump's activity leading up to and during the siege of the Capitol poses a bigger threat to Trump than the recent search at Mar-a-Lago, according to Insider's Sonam Sheth.
The president is in serious legal water because of the obstruction he took in connection with the January 6 proceeding and the attempts to interfere in the election count.
Even though he doesn't think it's wise to prosecute the former president for a "process crime," he thinks the chances of him being indicted are very high.
It was the first time in American history that a president tried to stay in power without the consent of congress.
