He was impeached so that covers charges. Also the way that it is written in the 14th amendment leaves out convicted IIRC. At the time it was passed they had just went through dealing with insurrection and saw the need to suspend this need be a good guess.
Not a lawyer and will defer to a more learned one.

I do not disagree at all. Haven't heard a learned one say the 14th will stick to him yet today.

Edit: I am sure I could find a team blue lawyer that says it will stick if I looked.

How about one of the most respected conservatives from the Federalist Society, a former judge?

Just my opinion formed from how shit happens. SCOTUS is going to over turn it. Do I hope they don't? Hell yeah, will they, YES

Where does it say judges need convictions to back their judgements?

Not sure if it does anywhere. I am just giving my opinion of what SCOTUS is going to use to overturn.

I hope it sticks, I think we are all going to be disappointed.

Also the Colorado Repb party already said they will just switch from a primary to a caucus format (no ballots required) so Trump can participate.
