I don’t see it happening unless he’s actually convicted in the 1/6 or Georgia trials.

Superficially, it seems obvious he broke his oath of office, but using superficial observations isn’t how our court system is supposed to work. “BUT HE LOOKS GUILTY!” ;)

The Cowboys For Trump guy who got bounced out based on the 14th Amendment was actually convicted first.

I 100% agree with you. I've argued that, despite my personal feelings on Trump, he deserves due process under law before this happens. I understand that some constitutional scholars believe he's disqualified just because it's mentioned in the 14th Amendment, but I can't see how you enforce that without some sort of conviction or admission of guilt.
