introduced legislation to permanently bar former Pres. Trump from running for president again, and 40 Democrats have signed on.

This would require amending the Constitution, where the eligibility requirements for running for President are clearly written.

Even if Trump were convicted of insurrection, he would still be eligible to hold the office of the presidency.

Natural Born Citizen, resident of the U.S. for the past 14 years, 35 years old. That's it.

It's all in the Constitution.

Actually, the requirements to be President were amended:

Amendment XIV, Section 3:

“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. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”

That’s what these morons are hanging their hats on. I don’t believe there is actual credible evidence of Trump engaging in insurrection, but they don’t care.
